A new Guinea Pig? Bollocks to that!

Jonathon has a new friend. The much acclaimed long-haired Gilbert Clockey came to join the family on Tuesday. He has pink eyes and Grace had naming rights. I think he may have previously been employed in a Dickens novel as a clerk. We asked for a name 'off the wall' and Grace looked around the room and said "How about that photo of me as a baby". Doug was imagining us introducing the guinea pigs as "That's Jonathon and that's a photo of Grace as a Baby." So 'clockey' it was. He's settled right into the Hutch Mahal of course. Now, there is one more thing about Doug's Back Yard that must be told. Jackie and Robbie have 'come of age'. Robbie went off to get 'tutored' this week. We're still waiting for it to take the 'spring' out of his step.
