Pigs, bins and Halloween sins

Well it’s been almost 2 weeks since my last blog entry and I have to say that I haven’t really been up to much. I have however treated myself to a new guinea pig, that makes a grand total of 4 piggies altogether which means soon enough my piggy army will be strong enough to take over the world wuahahaha! For those of you who might be wondering just what an army of guinea pigs is like; it’s similar to a regular army except each soldier looks less like a human, and more like a furry water balloon with feet, and instead of swords or guns, they are armed with carrots and various other root vegetables.

Winter is kicking in now, I know this because Jaffa has been exercising his feline rights to periods of semi-hybernation and taken up a record 23hour shift on our bed. This either means that he has very impressive bladder control, or that we are in for a nasty surprise when we go to bed tonight!

It’s been an exciting month for us Herefordians as our beloved city was finally dragged into the 21st century with the arrival of our long-awaited recycling wheely bins. It seems to me that Herefordshire Council’s reluctance to join the rest of the bin wheelying world up until now has had a detrimental and irreversible affect on our local youths as the poor blighters have missed out on a good solid 10 or 15 years of wheely bin surfing, and instead have had to settle for archaic games such as ‘lets drink till we vommit’ and ‘what’s that bong?’ Cruelty if you ask me! We have yet to score wheelies for our regular rubbish but one can only dream can’t they?

Halloween is fast approaching so we’ve stocked up on sweeties for the trick or treaters. Aww it warms my heart to see those excited little faces at the door in joyful anticipation of what goodies you are about to bestow upon them – shame 99% of them are 5’6 tall and got voices deeper than James Earl Jones! Still, at least they’re putting those balaclavas to good use inbetween the muggings and hold-ups, another plus is that they are of course more than happy to pour their night’s profits back into the economy via much appreciative offies.
