We have to swim out of the way as the cat tries to drink from our water. We expect that he won’t drink very much, so that won’t deplete our supply. The poor thing must be thirsty. We hope the human is looking after him properly. His coat looks full and bushy and he seems lively enough.

Pond Opera
A new video in the morning. The Food Bearer says it shows off our bright colours. She says it looks as if we are in an opera. We like that. Our lives alternate between moment of high drama and peaceful contemplation.
Swimming into October Sunshine
It is a beautiful sunny day and we are enjoying swimming in our home, The Pond.
Fresh Water: We thank the Hose
The food bearer took some of our water and gave it to the plants. It will nourish them, she told us
Then The Hose made a splashing torrent for us, filling up The Pond to its former level.
Thank you, noble Hose. We come up to thank Hose and stare at the food bearer. The lazy cat is still in bed. Then he comes outside. We watch as he attracts the attention of the human. But we are more beautiful.
Christmas Day 2019
We are waiting for our food this morning
Still in our temporary pond
Sasha the cat assured us we would be going back into our refurbished pond today.
Some people came and made a lot of noise dragging things around, but we are here still and they made the water muddy with sloshing water out and in.
The food provider apologized and said they would be back next Tuesday. The fibreglass may have some fumes left that would make us feel uncomfortable she said.
So it is a matter of being patient yet again.
We swim in the currents and would love to be able to dive once again into our sheltered caves.
Not so good news
This summer has been so hot that most of our plants have died. We still have two plants on our shelves that have leaves and our Papyrus plants. Our waterlily is shooting up leaves, but something eats them before they get to the top of the water. Maybe we are eating them? The human keeps staring at the plant and wondering what to do. She even bought a new waterlily and it was okay for a while. Then the leaves started to disappear.
But we are still feeding and playing.
We will get the human to look at the pond and take a photo or two to upload.
News from The Pond
We had some new plants added to our shelves. Some of them drooped down and their leaves cleared the water until it was sparkling.
We haven’t had a chance to tell anyone how they have grown, as the cat takes up most of the time and energy in this household.
