Interests in no particular order: Guinea pigs, storks, hedgehogs, Genesis, Beatles, F1, things mechanical. Late diagnosis for ASD, which has been... interesting. https://planetsi.com

There are Christmas albums and there are Christmas albums. This is the latter. Superb production and sumptuous bass, brought to you by the man instrumental in the discovery of the Beatles. Happy advent. #christmasmusic #bertkaempfert #thebeatles #vinyl

It’s had one play already today. Probably not the last.

No matter how much food they have, they always want the piece in the other one’s mouth. It’s Guinea pig law, in fact.

Oh the trad kit every time - why lose the one thing that differentiates snooker from other sports? Would look even better without the stick on adverts as well…

A rather smug looking black and tan Guinea pig lying next to a green plastic bowl that has been upended and perched against a wooden hid nearly perfectly at right angles.

Norman, our bowl- tipper extraordinaire, has excelled himself this morning. Note the self- satisfied look on his face #guineapig

No they are in separate cages - the two new boys hit puberty, all hell broke lose and it turned into a Mexican stand off. The cages are on wheels so can be pushed together for good behaviour 😁

Two blue bolws containing different versuions of All-Bran. On the left, the new version,on the right, the original

Spot the difference: On the left, Kellogg's "New improved" All-Bran - that's universally hated - compared to the original. Naturally the whole box of the new stuff went in the bin. The end of an era and of me as a Kellog's customer. Shades of the "New Coke" debacle... #allbran #kellogs #unholycockup

Our 2 new guinea pigs have a Californian mother (famous for their black snouts) so it’s not surprising they are getting dark noses. However, at the moment, Stanley’s colouring could be considered… unfortunate. #guineapig #toothbrushmoustache #charliechaplin #mustache #notadictator

D-Day for introductions: our two new Teddies are in with Norman. After 10 minutes in statue mode and some initial skirmishes it all went quiet. I was expecting Armageddon after 5 minutes. #guineapigs

Hopefully this means an end to those particular shenanigans now that these strips of tape will have scores of cameras trained on them.

Two new guinea pigs arrived with us last week, both 3 month old teddies.

Is there such a thing as a Machiavellian Guinea pig? I think so. He just stands by the new boys, watches and plots. #guineapig
