tales from an ordinary world

The Melbourne Aquarium's like most of the other aquariums I've been to in recent years - Sydney, Canberra, and that one in Auckland. But this one had cuttlefish, and so at least I now know what one looks like when it's alive, instead of just being some white piece of cartilage that people buy for their pet birds. On a public holiday, it's hard to see much of anything because there's a heap of kids running in every direction. But it is, after all, their world now. They seemed to be enjoying it.
