Yesterday...
First off, I didn't get an account opened. They have complicated and convoluted rules to prevent money laundering and to prevent people on spouse visas from being able to get a bank account. Because you know that it's the drug dealers and the housewives that are all about the money laundering. *sigh* More British red tape.
Then we didn't get Chinese food because we got there a few minutes past the lunch rates, and it would have cost a ton. So we went for Thai food instead, which was good.
The only thing that did go according to plan was buying a hamster. We got a little boy hamster who is cream and white colored. We named him Binky (after Death's horse in the Discworld novels). Ever since we brought Binky home, Homer and Spike (our guinea pigs) have been jumpy and kind of freaking out. They can smell a new animal in the house, and they aren't sure if it's something that is going to eat them or not. I'm hoping they'll get over it soon.
I'll post some pictures of Binky later, but for the moment we're letting him sleep and chill out because he had kind of a hard day yesterday. Hamsters do not like riding on the bus.
