Gordon has a new lease of life

Suddenly he's everywhere. He's up and out, first thing in the morning, when Helena delivers our yoghurt. This evening he was over by the window, checking out the cables and curtains.
He later joined me in the bed I'd made under the sofa. He did take time out to rest, but does seem to have had a fuel injection. I'm amazed.

So Gordon had a nasty cold and Helena didn't want me bothering him. I do feel that she over reacts at times when she hears him squeak. I was being playful. This is how rats interact. We don't do conversation or massage. We tussle. Anyway, after a 3-day separation we are back together again. Gordon's not snotty anymore so I might practice some of my moves on him.

Helena had a visitor this weekend. He made curious noises whenever I ran over him.

Gordon's being very private.

Shy Boy has been good to me while I've been taking things easy. He's created the swankiest bed I've ever slept in. It's made up of bubble wrap, 'Comfybed', a city council direct debit form, a packet of pine nuts and several sheets of layout paper. I think that's everything. I do admire his enthusiasm.

I had a brief wander under the sofa while Helena cleaned the house out. The bubble wrap has gone now. Pity. I wonder whether Shy Boy will find some more. Hmm....

Yoghurt and honey time now me thinks.

Shy Boy was seriously excited yesterday when he hurried home with an enormous quantity of folded paper. He was quick to take it up to the loft and create the most delightful bedding.

He can be very thoughtful at times.
