OUR VIEW

Thought I'd stop the mad writer for a moment to order him to take a picture of the view of the Fish Tank with Kip and Soot, just for you. It's not as sharp as it could be because we rodents have delicate eyes and he's banned from using the flash.


Look carefully and you can just about make out Sooty on the top right hand corner. He's still staring at the mad writer.

KIPPER'S UP

Across the room from our cage is a massive fish tank. It is the home of Kipper, a sandy-coloured gerbil, and Sooty, who, as you might imagine, is a black-coloured gerbil. Sooty's watching the mad writer at his desk. You'd think he had something important to put down on his computer screen by the way Sooty staring at him. We can't be bothered with all this writing business. The sound of him tap-tapping away at the keys all day and all night can get on our nerves. Kipper though is in a world of his own. Their cage is packed with toys. It's so big that it's even got a spaceship at one end. There's a wooden bridge that could come out of some adventure film and loads of bedding. They have different bedding to us because we need something more substantial. We also don't like dust so the stuff comes by special delivery.

BLUEBELL AND THE CUSHION

Bluebell lurked under the cushion this morning while we three played on top. Great trick, great game. She's managed to turn it upside down which is some achievement considering it's five times the length of her body. Well done, Bluebell. I've not mentioned my sister before by name. She's got black stripes and is a little bit bigger than me. However, she's very shy but is now starting to come out of her shell.

TOILET ROLLS

WE ARE SURPRISED. Our human's just come back with some more chewy things. These are the rolls that hold toilet paper, or should that be lavatory paper? Our human's friend was shocked to see her enter the building. These rolls are from GIANTS! THEY'RE MASSIVE. How big a backside have these people got? I'm going to wake up the rest of the girls. We'll be chewing from now until Xmas. These rolls are twice the length of a long human laid upon the ground. Guess we ought to share with the gerbils.

EARLY ACTIVITY

We're all up early this First of the Month Sunday since our human has a long day today at her place of work. Jaz has been munching away in the top tube. I've been washing my face in the water bowl. Our human's had a second brew. Now we're moving the tissues and bedding back up to the top. We love doing this.
