enismirdalI am happy happy happy!
Today I got to have my VIP visit to meet my guinea pig!!!!!
Rosie is Teh Extreme Cute and I am completely besotted. I held her and stroked her and she got all comfortable and basically nearly fell asleep on me, completely chilled out. It's been a couple of years since I last held a guinea pig, but somehow it just feels...right. I love guinea pigs. I love Rosie. I can now visit her Lots and bring her presents. They're having a volunteering day tomorrow so I can visit her then.
Apparently this was their first VIP guinea pig visit. (They'd had some for the pig before, and some for the sheep.)
After holding Rosie, the nice volunteer who was showing me around let me hold another one of them, a Himalayan Rex guinea pig (which unfortunately only has one eye, but didn't seem put out by this!). I'd never held a Rex before - they basically feel like a round, warm ball of Axminster carpet! That one was very cute and friendly too and got quite happy on me. So I seem to have general guinea pig approval.
I love that even in terribly dodgy bits of East London you can see sheep and ducks and things!
Noise the Gander, and company!
Quack quack quack quack! Some of those are Call Ducks, which are bred to make a racket. It was...vocal in there!
Goats...
More goats!
Sheep
Itchy the Pig. He'd just been fed so was making happy grunty oinky noises and sounded very contented indeed.
Winnie Pigs!!!!! I don't think Rosie is in that particular shot (the flash has made some of the Dutch ones look black when they're actually brown - I think the dark Dutch one in the front left is Mo, and the dark Dutch one in the middle seems to have too much black on its bum to be Rosie!) but you can see how much space and company they have!
That's one of the Himalayan Rexes (the one with two eyes, as it happens). Carpet pig!!
So overall I am so very happy!
I've got annoyed with my enismirdal at caths.co.uk e-mail address, so I'm gradually going to wean it out of use and switch to using enismirdal at fluffydragon.co.uk - I now have to pay for the @caths one (£5.20 a year, so hardly excessive, but why pay when I have webspace and can make my own blooming e-mail address?) and it's just too unreliable to be worth the money, so we'll see how long it takes the chap who runs it to notice I haven't renewed my subscription and close the account! So please start directing future mail to either fluffydragon, my hotmail if you have it, or one of my academic e-mails if you know them!
Is anyone on my Flist continuing to be morally opposed to Gmail accounts or have people stopped caring about them now? *curious*

I have g-mail for spam only, LOL. Seriously, there are 4000 some pieces of junk mail there. Hopeless, I tell you...
