Awww she sounds sweet. I'm sure you'll make a great hammy mammy Hitch 

Next week is a big week... good luck ! 

Yes... so much to do still... *deep breath* at least there's a bank holiday today and an inservice on thursday. I just want it over at this point.

Awww maaaan, bet you do *nods*

Tell me when you've seen G.O.T. ....did ya like it 

Wishing you great happiness in your new home Hitch    

Hope today goes well xx

Hello!

I am behind on my internetting! *runs around the web panicking*

Anyway... Hello! How are you? I am in my flat, I am cosy, my livingroom is mostly chair.

I have seen GoT. *nods* Poor Walda... Walder too, since they changed his name to Wilas (Hodor... Do you want me to explain why that's annoying book readers?)

Tyrion has a hard time. Juggling three people's storylines... and that went better than it did in the book... Poor, poor Quentyn... three days it took him to die.

*Waves across internetland to Hitch*

 Aww glad its nice and cosy in your flat.... which you have furnished and decorated with your own fair hand  How does it feel to have your own homestead  Is it weird? 

Any GOT stuffs is always appreciated  but never worry there are more exciting things afoot. How did the moving go? 

It is. Weird yet cosy. I ordered smaller dimensioned seating, because I was worried about them getting through the narrow(er than my parent's flat) doors. They got in no bother... but they look massive in my tiny livingroom. Ah well... less carpet to hoover. *ahem*

GoT spoilers were leaked or the whole season... So far it's been accurate. A couple of things I'm looking forward too on a show only basis.

 Yes, there's that *nods*  Less muss less fuss 

How is your father coping now you've flown the nest... is he still like the dad from MBFGW   Are you sleeping ok? Sometimes its weird sleeping in a new place   ...until it feels like home. which it will soon hopefully .  <<< housewarming gift.

I'm sleeping fine. Hasn't been an issue. Helps, I think, that I'm up high above the insanely bright street lights that used to be right outside my bedroom... Dark is good for sleep.

Also, Dad has been ok. I haven't gotten a day to myself yet... So, looking forward to listen weekend... Except I wont have Saturday morning (Ruby's Communion... Ellidh's was today.), it has been busy busy.

  Ahhh great stuff  

Two communions in a row, that'll keep you busy 

T'is the season... but at least they don't make you show up for the confirmations nowadays. *nods*

Eurovision on Saturday. Are you partaking? I'm going to be watching the semi-finals too... If I remember...

Oh, and GoT... you seen it yet? Now TV pretty much has it up all day, you don't need to wait for Sky Atlantic to air it. I liked Edd. Everything Edd was quality. Eddison Tollett for the Iron Throne!

I did see it... thanks, noticed they have it early on catch -up  Its getting interesting. Glad to see Edd made Lord Commander. Getting bored of Ramsay though...are you? I like a good villain but he makes my skin crawl. Hurry up and off him.

 Eurovision... of course! It has to be done 

Ramsey... in the book is a one note, not particularly clever and whatnot... Not sure why the show writers decided to bump his part so much.

I saw that today... Amazon emailed it. Yeah... naming wasn't the great thing.

It has been days... so much confused. Pippin the hamster joins me on Friday.

How are things with you?

Ahh that's interesting about Ramsay  -  he truly is a one note character, exactly.

I'm hanging in thanks. Been an interesting past couple of years... will tell you another time.

Pippin awww hope she settles in well  

Past couple of years? I hope not more neighbour bother?

No, but related. Its more how badly I was treated afterwards by the NHS / CMHT. My private therapist turned out to be quite strange too  I'll tell you in a bit maybe [ lucky you  ].

Meantime lets relax and enjoy [ right word? ] Eurovision weekend and the arrival in your life of Pippin. What's she like?

People are strange. Counsellors are supposed to be less so though. O.o

Yes, Eurovision is to enjoy and take the mind off the icky for a while. *nods* *offers crisps from her prepared bowls* I am sorted already.

Pippin is gorgeous. But I can't really clean her cage until she's used to me and I can pick her up.

Ta for the crisps   Sounds like you had a nice buffet. Did you enjoy Eurovision? Well well, who'd have expected a protest song to win?

Aww hope Pippin gets used to you so you can handle her more. What colour is she?

I did enjoy it. Petra is always an excellent hostess. Yes, I preferred other songs, but the European public deciding to flick the v at Putin is always funny. I like Austria, France and Bulgaria. What were your favourites.

I got the cage cleaned. Put the cage in an empty bath, let her crawl out... held out the open ball and made a beeline for it. So whilst she ran into walls explored the apartment, I got things done. *nod*

She's creamy with a white band and darker stripes below her ears... umm wee sec. *faffs about between facebook and photobucket*

Don't worry, I've changed the bedding to paper bedding, what with that fluffy stuff being dangerous for them.

Triple squeeeeee!  Could Pippin BE any more cute? She looks like a wee teddy there.   Thanks for the pic  Sounds like you're taking great care of her too 

Ummm I liked the Netherlands [ C+W ] and Georgia [scruffy rockers in hats ]. Yes that was absolutely my thought too... two fingers up to Putin  Most satisfying.

I like Georgia, but... that light show. I'm not epileptic, but I was zoning during it.

Isn't she.  She's still nippy. She's not scared, she might be associating me with food, or Elaine may have lied about how tame she is... Who knows. But, I've moved her into the room... she didn't like being so close to the washing machine. Elaine used to keep her in a room with a light on over night to make her stay awake during the day. I... working all day, home in the evening... am letting that be undone. I can sleep through hamster noise.

Oh that's a pity   Hope she settles down. Sincerely hope nippiness isn't the reason she was given away?  

Its lucky you can sleep through hamster noise. Indeed, I heard they're very active at night.

They are, yes. Plus, the bottom of her tray is kitty littered for order prevention... noisier than say, saw dusty flooring.

We'll find out... she should be tameable.

Is it sore when Pippin nips you?  Hopefully, yes you can tame her. Its good you're allowing her a natural light cycle... doesn't seem right what the last owner did.

Only the first time when she was scared in the car. Drew blood. Other time was more "are you food? you smell like food." I gave her boiled egg today, animal protein ftw. I may buy mealworms for her.

As it stands, she has gotten into nocturnalism like a duck to water. I often find myself woken in the wee small hours  by the clatter of the chew toys I bought her being dragged up the cage wall. Also she's kicked all the litter over on one side and left her pee area uncovered. This was not the plan!

Have you seen GoT yet? You may never look at a loaf of bread the same way again. *fans self* Also, Eddison continues to be the best/sweetest/greatest ever.

Also, Targs aren't fireproof.

  Pippin's a wee hooligan!

What else does she eat apart from boiled eggs? Meal worms are expensive, though cheaper in bulk from Amazon. My brother buys them for his garden birds.

Yep things are hotting up in G.O.T.  Was sad about Osha though, wasn't nice her going out like that.  

Wasn't at all. Apparently Natalie Tena has spoken out about the sex and nudity on the show. As in the unfairness, the closest we gotten to female gaze is Tormund eating some bread suggestively, and I'm pretty sure that was meant as comic relief... even if we are enjoying the gif a lot. (Although, I'd like... just once... someone to gif Edd's reaction. )

Pippin has hamster museli, edible wood chews with seeds in, berry flavoured drops (only as treats) and the occasional segment of my hard boiled eggs. She isn't so excited about the museli.

Ahh so that's what you meant about the bread. Must re-watch. Was it when he was eyeing up Brienne? I only realised he did that when I read the Guardian blog comments .

Sad if Natalie was written out due to that. Hard to know as peeps are bumped off left right and centre though.

Awww you're spoiling Pippin by the sounds of it 

Yeah the second time at the dinner table, it's hilarious... but at the same time he's a big, strapping, hirsute fella... so It's also a tad hot. That said, I am more of an Edd fan.

I know the guy that played Ser Barristan Selmy was a book reader who had made comments, Iain Glen mentioned getting dissuaded from trying to read it by the show  runners. Book snobbery is frowned upon on set.

I am being good! Not spoiling... I swear...  she's allowed a tea spoon of muesli and up to 5 treats a day... she only gets 3 treats tops. *nods fervently*

Never thought of him as hot before, but now you mention it... umm yes... a tad 

Aww Pippin can always work off the treats in her ball, and trashing her cage in the night lol    is she any easier to handle yet?

 How could I have missed this?  [ I watch G.O.T. on the treadmill, so maybe I was taking a swig of water or something? ]

Phwoarr not 'arf!!!! 

I also liked Edd's expression right after, he seems to be the  only other person that noticed.

This must be what men felt like watching 80s Flake commercials...

Not sure how you missed it either. Well, maybe not "hot" in the traditional sense... I've always found big and hairy more interesting than pretty pretty. You know what I mean? For example I left Captain America: The First Avenger, a film containing both Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, with a crush on Dum Dum Dugan. There may be something wrong with me...

I haven't really tried to pick her up yet. Especially now that I have a cold, which seemingly she can catch off me.

Yeh... Specsavers etc!  He gives her double barrel suggestive eyebrows and everything    And nope there's nothing wrong with you  big and hairy [and a bit of a bruiser ] is infinitely more seccsy *nods* 

Aww hope your cold gets better    ... would it cheer you up slightly to know Springwatch is back on the 30th May [ And Unsprung has changed to 6.30 pm ]? Get well soon xx

I am aware of Springwatch's return, but thank you all the same. On that note, from my new flat I can see a starlings nest, just where the gutter meets the drainpipe across the road. Both parents in and out busily. Fingers crossed I get to see the fledge.

I actually popped in because (this be more relevant if you've seen Wayne's World. I hope you have, it's excellent.), when Brienne first rides in and Tormund first clocks her... I got a song instantly in my head... been singing it ever since.

I'm not the only one! Yay internet!

They even included Edd's reaction.

 Lol that's utterly brilliant, thanks. Dreamweaver is used in a similar fashion in Wayne's World... but this is better. Its weird, but there's definite chemistry there.  

That's cool you have a view of the starling's nest.  Especially as they've been in decline. Hope you get to see some fledglings.

My brother saw an adult robin feeding a mealworm to a fledgling in his garden recently. From Springwatch I knew it was probably the dad showing it the ropes, while mum was off preparing for another brood again  

Ooh exciting! My only experience of fledgings is when the gulls come down from the roof and give you nearly constant panic by running all over the busy road. Gulls don't give a damn about my stress levels.

 Death defying gulls... aww they'll be ok. Reminds me of the pigeons in Bellyfast. They'd sit coolly in the road, and avoid oncoming wheels by a nanosecond. Hard as nails, dem birds. 

Pigeons are mental. *nods*

I hit a gull, on the way to Largs once. Not sure what happened to it. It only just hit the top of my windscreen, wasn't in a position to look back.

Oh no  That must have been so upsetting. Nothing you can do, sadly.
