The decision is made. Next year Magdalena and Andreas will not come back to Ghent with me. The fishtank that has been their home for nearly two years and where at one time four little fish had space aplenty is now too small to fit the two of them comfortably. Alas. With the reluctancy of a mother who sends her youngest child to school I will set my most loved ones free in the wild uncaring cold cruel world that is our garden pond.
The fishtank, with it's plastic castle and white duck will welcome four newcomers, Natanaël, Simon, Thomas and Simon Petrus. It might take some time before I get used to their company. But we'll be fine. After all Schloss Otto is a desirable dwelling for any pet and Mozes is likeable enough.
