Climbing The Walls

I think we may need to buy a gnawing toy for Princess. The idiot hamster waits until Holly has gone to bed to emerge and go mental, running in her wheel and gnawing at the cage in an entertaining but ultimately futile attempt to either escape or sharpen her teeth, we're not sure.

We're All Together Again

Sunday was the leavers' barbecue at Holly's nursery. The sun and rain played a wee game of hide and seek, but the main thing was that we all got together for a wee sing-song and all the kids got a leaver's certificate, a reward scarcely adequate for sitting though Magic Max's performance. Actually that's unfair, the kids enjoyed it enormously. The day before, Princess was out and about (an almost daily occurrence in fact) and we took a wee snap to record Holly's growing confidence in handling her. Louis, meanwhile, napped peacefully, looking good in his pale blue top.

It's been a week, so it's time for Princess the hamster's blog debut. She's a timid wee thing, but that's to be expected. She and Holly are gradually getting used to each other though. Odd that hamsters are popular pets for kids, and yet they sleep during the day and wake up at night, mainly (it seems) to run noisily in their wheels while we're trying to watch The Wire...
