I just very nearly had a catastrophe. Here I sit in the hotel room with a cup of coffee and oops, it disappears from my hand onto the desk and towards my laptop. Luckily my reactions were good enough that it touched little of the laptop. I should know better - I have dropped an esspresso into my previous laptop and it cost €500 to get it repaired. No harm really done here though.

I am going to introduce you to one of my flatmates. This is Arthur.



Arthur is a chinchilla and is just over a year old. He has a great personality and is friendly but it must be on his terms. If you try to touch him and he isn't in the mood he will run away and there is little chance of catching him, he is very, VERY fast. If he is in the mood though he is cool. He eats out of my hand, jumps up and down on me and make funny little clicking noises.
