Not enough meat. Now guinea pigs are a different matter. In South America they're kept for food. I believe they're a Peruvian delicacy.

That is correct.
Yum yum.
Good afternoon, Linda.
Hope you're back to being cheerful.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Morning all!
Almost noon here. Chores done. Between now and an appointment in the afternoon I should ideally be writing... Oh well. View attachment 192335

Good morning, Lena.
"What chores ?"
"I'll have a pint, please."

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning.
Three rats in three days.
This one isn't very cute.
It might be the parent rat.
Anyway. I just let it loose in the bus lot to eeek out a new life.

Good morning, Ed
Not a pretty beastie.
Glad you're being rat-ional about it.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Na but I mean a pizza, sandwich, brownies, breadsticks can't all be for one person, right? Hopefully the 3 bdr house and all the vehicles in the driveway throw them off.

Good morning, Cameron.
Enjoy your day.
And any takeaways involved.

Life is good here, too.
I am studying Jane Eyre with a student for a couple of hours starting in 20 minutes.
Then I will take Tidgy out for some sun after she, too has her soak.
After that I will continue classifying bacteria.
And play in the Cold Dark Room, no doubt.

Good afternoon - the day isn't panning out as planned, but things are getting crossed off the list.

My vacuum cleaner has decided to die. I'm hoping it's repairable.

In better news JoesDad is sprinting up to London for an interview this evening. All rather short notice and exciting

Now I need to sort out a birthday present for my Mum.... * scratches head *

There's a really cute video of an interview with a talking pet guinea pig. I tried to attach a link but could not.
If you google "talking guinea pig pet interview" you should be able to get it. Funny and clever, i think!

And in further news, New Orleans' minor league baseball team, the Zephyrs, has officially changed its name. I think there was a change in team ownership, so they had a vote about a new name for the team. The new name is The Baby Cakes.
Huh??? Yep. The Baby Cakes. One of the old Mardi Gras traditions here is a king cake- a sort of sweet yeast cake pulled into a circle and covered with sweet icing. There is a small plastic baby stuck inside, and whoever gets the piece with the baby has to buy the next king cake (they're only available during the Mardi Gras season). So that's where the "baby cake" name came from.

Apparently it's quite the thing lately to have silly names for the minor league teams. Other teams include The Jumbo Shrimp and The Flying Squirrels.
