THE ROBOROVSKIS ARE MOST UPSET because I threw their old bed in the bin, the one they had painstakingly made themselves by nibbling up their luxury flooring (an old issue of The Sun newspaper). They had weed and pood all over it and it stank to the rafters...
I am wondering whether she has the so-called "fat gene" because Spherical's gone tubbier than ever, leaving Bashful and Itchy looking ever so tiny indeed beside her.
I accidentally picked up Bashful last night thinking she was the hand-trained Itchy. Trained she most certainly was not, for with one almighty spring she bunnyhopped into the dark, leaping about 100 feet in hamster measurements... landing on the floor where I caught her in a Trotter Tube (old toilet roll holder).
Yesterday I returned to my old address. It was eerily calm and the haunting odour of dog blankets had evapourated. Of course I had left an entire box full of bits and bobs: spices, garlic paste &c, &c, &c...
Then I spent ages spraying, sheening, wiping, clearing, bleaching, blanking, brushing, elbowgreasing the place into submission. And I have to say after all taht it does look passably normal.
The house was empty except for the last man downstairs who was under the same odd notice as me to "pick up keys to a new address" ~ only he refused to be hurried into the move. It seems they really are redeveloping my old house... even the cockroaches have moved out. (Came with me.)
Righty-ho: I'd better go. My fridge looks wonderful, covered with doodles of the most fantastical kind. After I realized that ikea waterbased marker would turn my fridge into a whiteboard. The strangestmost things have been scrawled up on it...
Righty-ho then! Bye for now!!

TARA PALMER-TOMKINSON: THESE BOOTS (WERE MADE FOR WALKING)
Tara PT isn't really equivalent to Paris Hilton. But she is a socialite "it-girl" who got all over the media thanks to clever PR. She's the only socialite I've seen on telly who I actually liked. Also she had an 8g a day habit on cocaine. Until she went to rehab, her nose collapsed and finally she redeemed herself rather than die... Here she is performing on a charity version of one of those shows where poor would-be pop star kids are chewed up by the system and mercilessly spat out...

Man I wish you had a camera so I could see your little furry friends. I am a huge sucker for anything cute!
Show us yer fridge then? No camera? No phone camera? GAH! Her nose collapsed!
You have cockroaches in your new place?
I'd really, really like to see your fridge...
So the cockroaches moved with you? What a bunch of freeloaders...I'd do something about that...some pyrethrim should do it nicely.
EILEEN/AUNT R: my Mum met Itchy at the weekend and couldn't believe how tiny she was!
BAINO: o yeah! she said she was surprised it never happened sooner...
AKELAMALU: they're transient and impossible not to bring with short of dumping everything I ever owned...
not that many though I'm doing a 1st rate job of killing 'em off!!
PUSSINBOOTS: o the fridge is amazing... shorthand lessons and everything go on there...
cockroaches are a plague. I'm surprised God never "smote" the Egyptians with 'em when he got Moses and the Israelites to move house that time
omg. itchy is so incredibly cute. wow. great pics. nice to find your site. dismayed by the lack of online chinese hamster resources, i started my own Chinese Hamster Network. :)
