The little visitor

Amazing what you find in the kitchen sink, innit. After days of worrying we'd been infested by a mouse or rat, hearing eerie scraping of pipes under the bath, and freaking out at heavy scuttles behind the walls, to arrive at the kitchen sink one morning and find a bewildered hamster staring up at you is pretty much a happy discovery. Oh never mind that we don't own a hamster, it's just better than a rat. Next door was on holiday but we tracked them down and they sheepishly confessed to having lost their hamster some time ago. Here she is, captured, in temporary custody, waiting to be collected. Quite cute, actually! Even if she did bite me.
