Today we tried to introduce Pixie to Asami. Whilst it didn't go terribly wrong or anything like that, I wouldn't say it went well. Pixie just barked from a distance and Asami just hissed and went back inside her drawer. Ah well, we can just keep trying and if it's not meant to be then so be it. This evening we went to my Dad's for tea. We had pulled Cajun pork on buns which was really nice, followed by a super big piece of homemade sponge cake. He'd also made us some homemade bread so I'll be using it for my sandwiches tomorrow. It looks like an overgrown muffin, so can't wait to see what it tastes like.

Today my friend's hamster arrived to spend the week with us whilst she is away. His name is Elmo and he's super cute! He's also so tiny in comparison to my ratties. He's just settling in this evening, but I'll be able to get him out tomorrow so hopefully will get some cute photos to send to his Mummy! The rats have been a bit wild tonight, running about like mad and naughty Jacques has bitten the boy's eyelid! Luckily it's only a graze but it's definately bad behaviour we're going to have to work harder to solve. In other news, I managed to parallel park my car into a tight space this morning. I usually parallel park along this road and normally all is fine. However, this time I managed to lose concentration and park right up alongside the curb. I tried to get the car moved over for a good 5 minutes to no avail, all whilst trying to be subtle so the group of people stood 5 meters away wouldn't notice. I eventually gave up and spent my shift wondering how exactly I was going to get it out and had visions of me having to get the bus home instead. Luckily, the car in front had moved by the time I'd come out of work and I was free! How embarrassing!

Today's PED is of the flowers we bought for the bargain price of around 60p from Asda. We don't usually shop in Asda but we have been a couple of times recently as it seems to have some good deals and it makes a nice change from buying exactly the same stuff all the time.The last bunch we bought were rather disappointing. They were nice lilies but they never opened properly and all the heads fell off. I'm guessing we were just unlucky and picked a bad bunch as these seem to be looking in a much better state. I'm not sure what kind they are but I would definately get them again as they are very pretty. It was a shame I had to cut them down quite a bit as we only have shorter vases, all of which were kindly donated by relatives cos I like having flowers in the house. I also keep forgetting to water the new plant we got from Ikea last month and some of the flowers have ruined and turned brown and crispy. It seems to dry out very quickly, so if it does end up getting into a sad state due to my lack of attentiveness, I'll have to pick something a bit hardier.

Today I have been making a casserole for the first time! It still isn't finished so I'll upload a photo or two tomorrow. I have however been editing some pictures I took at Chester Zoo in January. I liked the little ponds in the tropical realm so decided to see if I could get a photo of the reflection of all the plants in the water. Then I just tweeked the colour and saturation in GIMP.
