Years and years ago, a long time before I even met my wife, her sister and her husband used to have an aquarium. It was her husband who looked after it, the wife's sister just admired it. Then her husband died and so the aquarium was put away.
She eventually remarried but her new husband didn't like aquariums so the old aquarium remained in the attic. Anyway, they recently divorced and so she is now living on her and has decided to try and set up her old tank.
The first I was aware of this was during a phone conversation with my wife the other day. It started off, "our Wendy is setting up her old tank again, she wants to know if she can have a load of your aquarium water. We are going getting some fish as soon as you have filled her tank with your water."
And of course my immediate reaction upon hearing this news was, "Whhoooaaaaa, time out, tell her not to do a thing, I'll sort it out for her."
So, it looks like I've got a new protege to take under my wing. Thing is, I know what she's like, she's the type of person who wants the fluorescent gravel, fake plants and obscene ornaments. I'm going to have to bite my lip a little, but I must say I'm rather looking forward to educating her and guiding her in the right direction.
