hair cut / raising triops

ばっさり。
Here is Julie's new look! 

新学期から自分で髪の毛をとかして学校へ行く準備をしなさいよ、と、昨日の夜にお風呂から上がって髪の毛を乾かしたあと、髪をブラッシングしていたら、小動物の巣のような髪の毛のかたまり発見。
I wasn't planning to cut her hair at all, but when I was brushing her hair last night, I noticed it had a big ball of hair... looked like a small creature nest.

「こんなことになってるけれど、どうして？」「あ、多分この間森で歩いた時、口さみしくなって、転んだ時に髪の毛が口に入って、そのままちょっと少しの間、噛んでみたんだ。」
。。。母はもう言葉もでません。
"OK, tell me what made your hair like this? "
" Hmm.... maybe when I was waking in the woods yesterday, I chewed some hair... because it came into my mouth when I fell over."
... I had no words to say.

「もう切ろう。下のほうは痛んで細くなっているし。」
「切ろうったって、こんな夜じゃどこも開いて。。」と言う主人の声をさえぎって、「切るのは私。カナダの美容院はお金を払っても散切り頭にするんだから、私が散切ったら無料でお得。」と私。
"Let's cut her hair."
"But it's night time, no hair dressers were open..."  said Col.
"No, I mean I will cut her hair right now. When Juliett got her hair cut at the nice hair dresser in the city, I saw the lady just cut with scissors very straight and there wasn't nothing special, I thought I could do it at home. Besides my mom used to cut my hair when I was little. And it is free."

巣の部分以外もかなり絡まっていて、これはドネーションには向かないと判断。
髪の毛を再びぬらして、本当に散切りました。段もなし。すいたり、おしゃれな技術もなし。
Juliett and I thought we could donate her hair again, but her hair got quite damaged also with the balls, we decided not to donate this time.
So I cut her hair very straight.  

私の家系をひいて髪の毛の量がかなり多いジュリ、朝起きたら大爆発で、ちょっと心が痛みました。なので、サイドを三つ編み。
I knew that her hair is like mine, has lots of volume, so I worried a bit when I saw her hair exploded this morning. But she was happy with her light hair anyway, so I braided the both sides. 

「あぁ、軽い軽い！」とご機嫌の彼女なので、大丈夫かな。
Our happy girl!

そんな彼女、誕生日に私たちがあげた「かぶとえび飼育セット」を約束どおりカルガリーから戻ってから開封、そして主人と一緒に飼育始めました。今日で４日目、かな。
Juliett started raising triops from eggs with a kit that we gave her for her birthday.
Col helps her. I think it was the fourth day today.

スプリングウォーターを使用、よくわからないけれど、にんじんのスライスと、ライムストーンを水に入れておくよう書いてあったのだそう。温度を一定に温かく保つため、ライトを１日中当てて観察。４つ卵を入れたけれど、順調に大きくなっているのは１匹。今日初めて「目」を確認したのだそう、２人で興奮気味でした。
Use spring water, put some sliced carrots and a limestone, keep the water temperature warm,... it sounded complicated to me, but they enjoy raising them. They were excited today because they recognized its eyes for the first time. :)
