Roadtrip
Posted by Anja on December 11, 2010 at 20:35 | Last modified: July 9, 2012 15:48Went on a fish roadtrip after OVAS breakfast with some of the ladies. I had two gift vouchers burning holes in my pockets, and came home with a handful of neons for the blackwater tank, some Emerald Eye Rasboras for the Edge (They currently reside with the guppies and the badies until the Edge is set up.) and five teensy little Heterandria formosa for the little hexagon in my office. They’re all happily swimming around in their respective tanks.

J came by to drop off the fish and pick up her shrimp, so now I’ve got two tiny Badis bengalensis swimming in the guppy tank downstairs. They’re very shy and still quite pale.

She wanted to give me two of her badis in exchange for some cherry shrimp, but she didn’t show up, so I picked up the tiger at the office and came home. Turns out her message that she wouldn’t make it had just missed me. Doh.

Posted by Anja on December 4, 2010 at 17:56 | Last modified: December 4, 2010 17:56That was nice indeed. They reserved us a little terrace style room overlooking the main restaurant, where our group was a bit separate from the rest. So we were able to have our prize draws and stuff without a hitch. Unfortunately I won back the plant I had donated, so I passed. Came home with one of the table decorations, though in a simple spherical vase that’ll look good with pretty much anything.
Food was good, and the service professional. The restaurant is huge, but well partitioned, and they have the steering of the masses down pat. The perfect place to still get a group reservation when everyone holds their Christmas parties.

Posted by Anja on December 3, 2010 at 17:53 | Last modified: July 9, 2012 15:53Had to do a last minute relocation of the OVAS Christmas party, because not enough people signed up for booking the hall. Thankfully we still got a reservation at a nice buffet-style restaurant on the Quebec side. Hope we’ll reach everyone in time.
