Just looking..

Spike is not impressed.

It's cold outside so although he thinks he wants to go onto the balcony, he comes straight back inside. Today we were without power for a while (the cable used by the electricity company to connect a new meter to our incoming power cable was too thin and burnt causing a short circuit. Luckily no fire). The flat got colder and colder (it's -4 outside) and Spike huddled by a cold oil filled radiator (our central heating is not working because that's frozen too....) looking at me accusingly - you bought me here from tropical Mumbai and you can't even turn on my radiator?!

Spike's expression is also to do with the fact that D is now much more mobile - crawling and pulling himself up, not yet walking unassisted - and fascinated by Spike. D had just crawled over and disturbed his rest... then he found a camera pointed in his direction! He tolerates D's attention well - when grabbed he whips his head round, but when he sees D he relaxes - if I grabbed a handful of his fur I'd get a swipe! We are of course telling D to be gentle with him, but I'm not sure how much of that is going in. D is also copying Spike who likes to creep up on people and swipe them playfully before running off.
