I got woodlice
I went and did a thing that I didn’t initially expect to do. I bought woodlice for Joop’s tank. I can already hear people wondering how mad I’ve gone, but there is a reason for it. They work as so-called “vivarium custodians” and wander around eating old food, poo, and generally keeping the soil in good condition. I got some tropical giant orange ones!
I was nervous about putting them in the tank with Joop, it doesn’t take much to hurt or kill a snail, but I looked into it a lot before getting them and so far it’s been fine, they seem to completely ignore each other! They don’t like being active unless it’s completely dark though, which is a problem if I’m up in the night and of course have a light of some kind on. Even putting just a dim lamp on seems to make them freeze completely in place.
Here’s some more Joop spam.
In other news, I finally got a Grippy Lead! Wasn’t originally going to get one until I got my next working dog, but when we moved here and I started being able to walk Freya myself, I realised I could do with one. They made me a custom one in the best colour, with reflective strips, rings for my chair, and a carabiner! I love it.
And here’s some recent scrapbooking I did.
So I went from, “I’ll just have a written list of attributes I want in a house one day and give it to an architect” to “Here is a scrapbook for this specific house plan.”
At least I know what I want I suppose.
