Mum's birthday

We celebrated Mum's birthday with Stephen yesterday.

We surprised Mum with her presents and card when she got out of the shower. Stephen got Mum two Gold Class tickets to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and also Apple's Mac OS upgrade, a 'Premium' Sudoku book, a Michael Jackson DVD and The Tudors series, also on DVD.

We got Mum a magazine! Well, actually, we got Stephen to get a magazine for Mum from us. It's about trends in fashion and textile. Mum likes artistic and colourful things so we thought she'll like that.

Before Tracy left for New Zealand, she dropped off a birthday present — a photo icon book. And not to mention presents from Caroll, Becky and Mum's Parents!

Wiggley wondered why we never get birthday presents... I think he forgot about the yummy strawberry 'cake' Mum made for us that he ate within seconds.

Pity we can't see the Harry Potter movie with Mum at the theatre. Apparently you people don't allow guinea pigs in the cinema. It's so unfair. I'm sure Mum will get the DVD out for us to watch anyway.

Happy Birthday Mum. We love you very much!

Our eleventh Poll result


Looks like most of you like mushroom soup. Mum's favourite is mushroom soup for Winter, especially the creamy one.
I'm not so sure about pumpkin, how do you cook that big orange thing? It wouldn't 'fit in the pot if you ask me.

Least no one voted for guinea pig; there's still hope in this world.

Good old times

Nothing beats having a peaceful and quiet weekend at Potts Point.

When I say peaceful and quiet, I mean no Wiggley 'pop-corning' about thumping on the floor, no Mr Big whinging for attention, and no Mr PF going all mental and skating across the floor. Yeah, that's what it's like on a daily basis I 'guinea pig' you not.

Why so many activities by these 'room mates' of mine? I don't know. But I found something on the Internet that may explain it — 'steroids', that stuff people take that makes them hyper. There are other things that make them hyper but I'm pretty sure it's the steroids for these lot.

Anyway, enough of that. Though it's been a little overcast, it's been a good day today. There's no rain what-so-ever. I did think about taking a walk up the roof, then again, I didn't want to pass up my chance of having a little snooze.

My time out

I love the weekends — like Mum, we feel weekends are the best.

Apart from having to do the chores, seeing friends and all that stuff you people do, Mum tries to stay home as much as possible during the weekends. She likes to hang out with us as she finds it relaxing.

This weekend, we all hung out at Stephen's. I get to sit with Mum while she knits and does some work on the laptop.

Speaking of knitting, Mum's started a new project last week. It's Connie Peng's Sage Blouse. The pattern calls for cotton yarns. But Mum thought it would look good in wool so she is knitting this with woollen yarns. Plus, she needs a new thing to wear this Winter and she sees nothing she fancies buying in the shops.

And speaking of clothes, the stuff you people put on (we are lucky in that we're covered in fur and don't have to spend money buying clothes), I like Mum's new flannelette pyjama pants. She said she bought them from Big W for only A$10! It was a bargain she couldn't resist at that time. I like the animal prints and I find flannels very comfortable to lie in.

Do you like Mum's new pyjama pants?

A tribute to Michael

:: we love you forever ::

We're saddened by the news of Michael's passing. Mum is especially, since she grew up listening to his songs. She remembered the difficult times she had been through in school with relationship issues growing as a teen and Michael had always been there for her, though his songs, telling her she's not alone.

We too grew up most of our 3 years listening to Michael's songs. The Earth Song is our favourite — we think it is a classic.

We will always remember Michael. We never thought he had a mean bone in him — have you listened to his songs?

I'm sure he'll be in a much better place now, and Tils' will look after him — afterall, people didn't seem to look after him when he was around.


ps: we wrote this on the night of the news but thought it would only be respectful if we posted it a few days later. Enough mean things have been said about Michael; and enough people have made money from him; where were these people when he most needed them? Pick on someone your own size!
