Baby Barbra the prettiest hamster of all, has sadly died. She was our second hamster, and has been a joy and a love. I don't believe in heaven, but I am reserving the right to decide that she has gone to keep Stephen (our first hamster) company, and they are playing and chewing on dried peas and banana chips for all time.
This ends our involvement with hamsters, as they were just perfect, and there is no need to have any more.
Other news, we have painted our small back room a lovely golden colour, and are turning it into an office/music room. It's about as big as a bus shelter, but at least it's a wonderful golden colour.
There is a lot to do in the house, and with work planning, but we are slowly getting through it, and hoping to get a line drawn under the bulk of it before flying to Nice on Friday. I have no great expectations for this holiday, just walking, reading, and staring at the sea would do me just fine.
