On a better note.

I don't like to leave the blog overnight with a mizzy post, especially as I'm feeling so much happier now. Perspective has been restored and helping the daughter get ready for her Halloween party was, if you pardon the pun, a complete scream. I'll upload the pictures tomorrow, but she looked a lot like Suzie Sioux, if any of you remember her, and I secretly vowed that I'll be borrowing that wig in the future ;)

Bedtime is when the Hamster is most active, and tonight we had lots of fun and cuddles. He pretty much lives in the daughters pocket or jumper when she's home, but I get to play with him too, sometimes. Tonight he sat on my arm, stood on his back feet and planted his front on my cheek to peer at me. Not until later did I reflect that I'd allowed a rodent to touch my face! He is soooo adorable though and we totally love him to bits. How funny that such a wee dot can have such an affect. I'm definitely going to be drawing and painting him as he's just too irresitable. I also had a cuddle from Merlin tonight, but it's not as safe as the hamster and I always have to check that I still have fingers and a nose!!! :)

Rose went as a zombie to her Cubs Monster Mash. I thought she looked like Siouxsie too!

Sweet to have a snuggle with a hamster.

I think we must have had the Hamsters from Hell as none of them were the least bit friendly, approachable and one literally went for the jugular if you so much as tried to change his feed bowl . . . I think they came from the local equivalent of the puppy farm . . . and yes, those are still about down here too.

Yaaay, for Zombies, Sian :)

I don't think this hamster has a choice, BB, he is constantly being cuddled and curls into P's hair. He is wonderful, sigh!

'Hamsters from Hell' and 'going for the jugular' having me cracking up, BB :) Sounds like your Mr. Hamster is a real cuddle-pie, aaawwww, I love that! Enjoy him...well, sounds like you are :) Does he (or she) have a name?

He's called Jubbley, Elizabeth, as in lovely jubbley, which is a saying from an old comedy! The daughter came up with it, nothing to do with me :)
