alyxzandrauk. She's moving in on Monday. I am really rather glad of this - it's been a long time. She's already been through my attic like a whirlwind, moving and tidying so that she can store some of her own stuff up there. And she likes the mice.
(I have had to lubricate the mice. The constant grinding of their wheel was driving me insane. I've dribbled some cooking oil on the bearings and now it spins in near-silence, with only the faintest of rumblings. This means that I can hear the occasional protesting squeak as a mouse gets caught between wheel and stand. I don't think they're bright enough to work out that it's fairly essential for all users of the wheel to face the same direction. They're still small so they don't weigh much compared to the weight of the wheel itself. If one mouse stops but the other keeps going, it goes round and round and is intermittently trampled. If it tries going in the opposite direction, well, the more determined or energetic mouse wins and the loser gets trampled twice as often. Also, now that the wheel spins more freely, when they stop, they tend to do another dozen or so revolutions. It's somehow fascinating to watch them looping the loop, going round and round, little heads pivoting to try to make sense of the whirling world. I've had mornings that felt like that myself. And bike crashes, come to that. But the exercise seems to be making the mice more tame. They're stopped clambering all over the roof, and though they're still terrified of me, they let me stroke them now. Don't dare try to pick them up, still.)
Anyway, since Bianca is moving in, I have to get shot of Tony "Scroteboy" Beasley's former belongings. So the fancy footwear and his bong are up on eBay; I reckon that's the only stuff that's worth selling. I might add a few DVDs later.
So, if you actually want to dress like a complete chav, or know anyone who does...
