Shelly

A quick update on our little crab. After a week in a big bowl full of sand and a full week of Shelly burring herself deep under the sand and not seeing her at all, Mr H made an executive decision and replaced the sand with gravel. Now we can enjoy her presence and satisfying little noise of moving stones all the time.
Shelly has a little metal climbing frame and loves sitting right at the top. Here you see her looking out of her bowl wondering what her life would be like elsewhere, beyond the glass.

Having dropped of Hanna at a belly dancing (!!!) birthday party, we had two full hours for pretending we lead this cosmopolitan lifestyle, having coffee, popping into little music and bookshops, checking out trendy clothes stores (and not buying any extortionate prices items anyway). It was a very pleasant afternoon.
