Hello, Pippin here.

This is the last post I’m going to write for you. Well, I might do one or two next year, because the new year starts on Wednesday!

Last Wednesday it was Christmas Day, and we all got presents. Even Mummy got presents. She got a box of drawing pencils, and some books, and lots of boxes with food in them, but not the sort we can eat.

We got boxes with yummy food in them, and even the boxes are edible!

Ludo has nearly finished all the nice hay and herbs in his box by now. Mummy is going to fill it up again for him. I’m well into mine, about the same as Victor, but Victor is also destroying the box. He’s nearly finished one corner.

You can trust Victor to be different. When he went to see Dr Rebekah last week she had the report on his lump. It said Victor couldn’t be a guinea pig because guinea pigs don’t get this sort of lump. But as he is a guinea pig, he must be A Wonder of Modern Science. We’re trying not to let it go to his head. But I suppose it’s some consolation for having to take another medicine as well as his others, because there was some pus under his stitches. He’s gone back to see Dr Rebekah again today, and Mummy thinks the pus is nearly gone, so that’s good. He’s still grumpy. Although, come to think of it, that might be because I managed to steal his celery through the bars of our cages!

Other than that we’re all fine. Mummy says there’ll probably be fireworks around tomorrow night, but we can listen to the radio with her and have a nice evening.

We hope you have a nice evening too, and a good new year.

love

and Ludo, Victor and Mummy, too.
