Right now I am typing this and trying very hard not to cough because Issy has supersonic ears that can detect a spider eating a crisp in Australia and I might wake her up if I so much as breathe too loudly...
I'm a very lazy blogger. So I apologise to my readership, which is really probably just Pete. So sorry Pete. And sorry I haven't finished Watchmen yet.
So in the past few months, we have moved house, which was exciting, then stressful, but now is quite exciting again. Everytime we get a new piece of furniture or something, we both go 'Ah, now this feels like home :D' but our most exciting purchase was probably a pair of lovely furry little rats...'But what about the bubonic plague?' I hear you say...well, I already have the plague, so I figured I should give it to a few more rats and help it on it's healthy way.
Actually domestic rats are very clean and they do cool tricks as well so even if you did have the plague they could keep you entertained and make you feel better.
They're called Captain Jack and The Doctor, which are totally our original ideas for names, of course :p (we should probably patent them in case someone tries to use them in a popular sci fi series or something...) and they already have little personalities going...The Doctor is a little shy right now but he does seem to have a bit of a cold. Jack is a tart who likes having his ears scratched! They're both still a bit shy about being picked up though...especially The Doctor. Unfortunately this is accompanied by POO in large quantities (for a little rat anyway...) because apparently people are so scary they actually crap themselves xp
Also Peter was investigating the noises rats makes last night, including grinding their teeth together (also known as 'bruxxing' for whatever reason!), which apparently either means 'stressed' or 'happy.' I'm glad rodents are so easy to understand xp
I don't really have much else to muse about, so I'm going to go pet a rat :D
