This is hard work!! Last night was not fun! They were in to everything, and as soon as you get one off the keyboard, or out of you tea cup, another one would come from the other side!!
So, obviously, time to start teaching some manners! Today I let them come around with me while I did the chores - which meant they could explore some new rooms. We only lost one - Raven got locked in the wardrobe, but she was rescued by the crying Magpie - too cute!
So after that, I had breakfast - perfect time to teach them they're not allowed on the table - Raven got it straight away, put off the table once and hasn't tried since - she's very clever.
Magpie, not so much - I thought he was getting it after try number ten, but he just tried a new route, climbing up my back - I've got the battle wounds to proove it! I didn't react, I just put him down, like Twitchy told me too. A few more tries and now he seems to be getting idea - I'm sitting at the table now with the laptop and he is sunning himself at the back door.
I'm worn out!
