captain mission on an ice cream run, three gourmet flavours and a sack of dog food for pansy, we head into little manly to visit nico and her tribe. and what a tribe they are, wow, soon the house is filled with soft toys and there's songs and dances, pictures and games, old captain mission don't have many friends but he likes these new ones a lot, they are colourful and funny and make him smile and make him feel younger. nico their sexy mum makes me some prawn salad type thing which although simple tastes exotic and nice.
in the morning we head down to the aquarium, captain missions fave place in sydney, where we pile into the toy shop and play with the stuffed toys, we wreck the place and we have not even gone inside yet.
oh we see fishes and sharks, we see trevally and rays, we see big slimy things with jelly eyes and we see alien looking aquatic species luminous and bright, but we are all captivated by the octopus and the cuttle fish, we watch as these beasties play for us, the blue ringed octopus climbing up the glass and then launching itself off and gliding down only to repeat it's climb, then the cuttle fish uses it's hover power to emerge from it's hiding place and from it's little squiddly diddly mouth shoots a long tongue that grabs some hunk of prawn carcass and swallows it whole.
all the family are stunned by this beautiful beasty and it's strange ways.
see there's all sorts of miracles in the world, life is so diverse and varied, it ain't no random thing, man the designer of this universe has imagination.
