Constant Companion

I was sitting here with my laptop wondering what to blip today, whilst Homer sat on my feet and nibbled at my feet and jeans. Then I thought that I wouldn't have to stretch very far to blip him and - hey presto.

He really is like a dog in that he follows me all about the flat and is only truely content when he's sitting on my feet or trying to climb up my trouser leg. He's pretty fast too - tortoises are not slow no matter what Aesop would have you believe. He makes a great clattering noise on the floorboards as he chases me about, sometimes accompanied by a very cute huffing/wheezing noise. I do sometimes wonder what the downstairs neighbours make of it all...
