The odds of a white christmas jumped significantly this week as the snow has been falling over the last few days and the temperature plummeting. When we got up this morning to a snug warm home, we checked the weather station outside our home and it was reporting -12.7 degrees centigrade. We couldn’t believe just how cold it was until we switched on the news where the local weather reporter mentioned -14 degrees centigrade had been recorded at Topcliffe (not far from here in North Yorkshire).
Still, inside our home, the now up and running Aquarium was humming away at a steady 25.6 degrees centigrade keeping the little tropical fishes that joined our family yesterday, nice and warm. Along with tropical underwater planting, it is in stark contrast to the white snow covered views outside the back of our home.
The challenge that remains now, is how we prevent Sooty, who has been taking an ever increasing interest in the Aquarium, from getting hold of the little fishes inside.
