Pictures of me and my rat, plus a bit of local history
The sales agent wanted to have a home open today and that was doable. What didn't impress me was she bloody locked me out afterwards! I don't lock the flywire door, it's just an added nuisance and if someone really wants to, they can break it without a huge amount of trouble. So I only carry the key for the main door. If she hadn't rescued me, I would have busted the door myself. [steams gently] It's quite warm hereabouts and I did rather want to get my grocery shopping inside quickly, not wait an hour for agent's son to get here with keys.
Anyway, we move on. I've attached a photo of Axel, my younger rat who is very unwell now. It's nothing that shows, which for a beastie as small as a rat, means no one knows as there are many tests not done for such a small creature. He's definitely off his food and doesn't want to take his medicine in soy formula. You usually have to fend rats off that stuff. He was probably about a year old in that photo; he's almost two now.
Please tell me if you can't link to the photos as I don't do this often and tend to forget what I did last time that worked.

I'm also going to include a photo of me in front of a huge mural in Fremantle, our coastal city. These are the ones we saw on Christmas Day. Perth is the state's capital but anything that comes here by ship goes through the big seaport. They dredged it, completing in 1897 to produce the fine harbour. Previously it was shunned by ship captains and companies, who preferred the much better facilities of Albany waaay down south. Why should seafolk care that stuff - like the State's mail - needed to be hauled to Perth by horse and wagon?
On a trip to one of the maritime museums in Freo last year, I found a page of a journal written by a sea captain (cannot remember when but obviously before 1897) in which he bitterly declaimed that anyone who visited Fremantle was a fool if he brought his ship there twice and that "The curse of Christ be on Fremantle and every son of a bitch in the place!"

The photo of your rat works for me, but the photo of you gave me an error. The links look quite different, so whatever you did to get the first link seems to be the way to go.

There. I usually edit several times on an entry and it's possible I actually added the photo from my general collection, which isn't open to the public, whereas the Photos for Dreamwidth one is. Hopefully that worked, because the art is gorgeous. The business that owns the warehouse engaged the artist several times whenever they had more money for him to do another panel on the building. This one shows their wares supposedly brought in from furthest Africa!
My friend Leece took the photo - I should have said that before - and told me to go and talk to the young woman!

That's a gorgeous mural.

It's the end of his antibiotics course and it wasn't helping that I could tell so yeah, I'll just concentrate on getting decent ratty meals into him. He's not great, but a bit brighter. Of course, the little bugger probably knows that the soy he's being given now isn't spiked. They're too smart for their own good sometimes.
