… now we have ‘Soy Sauce.’

Care’s new African Soft-furred Rat.
Like I said, I need putting in an asylum, far away from pet stores and Care. But, if Mochi (who has come to be known as ‘Strokey’) dies, this thing can use the rest of the shavings, and eat the left over food. And I do think Mochi will be passing on over soon. Real soon.
Anyway, thought I’d share pics.

Care went into the bathroom early this morning, and bumped the sink. Now, if you’d ever seen my bathroom, you’d know the sink is very close to the door, which isn’t even as wide as a normal door (this house was built with pieces of old lean-tos and sheds, I swear to gods) and you step down slightly into the room.

You’ll have to tell me how you like the new, Yule-y look for the blog. Day after New Years, it’s coming down and going back to normal… Poor old Poe up there is absolutely disgusted with me, I’m sure.

I got mad right quickly, and even though I knew Care was upset, I yelled at her. In the nearly three years we’ve had Sugar, she’s become far …

I never liked Blanche. In all the years I’ve watched Coronation Street, I rarely found a moment to relate to the character. After all, I have my own version of Blanche in my life, thank you, and watching a skinnier version on my fave show wasn’t something I enjoyed.

Condolences from Canada, where we’ll be watching Blanche …
