Lesley's menagerie.
I am tired.
Days of visiting lots of people has worn me out.....that and doing it with claggy sinuses.
But it has been fun.
Today we went to see an old school friend. I guess calling unannounced can be a bit cruel.....poor Mags had been enjoying a lazy morning and had just gone up stairs to wash and dress for the day; we interrupted the dressing part of the routine.
But who cares what people are wearing (and yes, she was wearing something!) when you have lots of chatting to do!
From Mag's house near Horsham we were off to Handcross. Marion was not at home.
So we continued on to to visit Bill's sister in Haywards Heath.
Lots more talking!
Bill's sister and her husband are animal lovers, collectors and hoarders. I would think the animals take most of their attention. There are cats, a rabbit, 3 guinea pigs, 3 birds and some fish. And only the fish are confined to quarters!
Well the rabbit has taken up residency in the small conservatory - doesn't bother with his hutch.
The guinea pigs are in hutches - but love to come out for a cuddle; and I was happy to oblige.
The hutches are in the living room.
There are cages for the birds but they fly freely round the room.
Here they are on the curtain rail.
I have no pictures of cats.
One, sadly was not at home. He has spent much of the last 2 weeks at the vets. Mulder is surely in the last part of his life.
I hope the people and the animals have a happy Christmas....and presume that by Tuesday they (the humans) might have found some space to sit down and eat their dinner.
It surely is a home where the animals take precedence over the animals. Bless them!
