Harry's Awake

An early morning for our human. We've decided to store loads of food on the bunk bed. She's off to work for more than twelve hours and we're left with the useless writer boy. Ah, Sooty the gerbil's woken up again and is sharpening his teeth on the metal link holding his top platform in place. Why do gerbils do this? It doesn't half make a noise, especially during the daylight hours when we rats are all trying to get a bit of shut-eye.
