Nico, who has been hiding at the back on the cage and sitting in wee, had to have a wash. Just warm water. Here he is, having his bottom gently dried, totally relaxed across my arm! I didn't think he would be happy at all, but he seemed to really like being pandered to. Unfortunately it didn't stop his 'hiding in shadows' habit.
Nico, at the back....

All the piggies got out onto the grass, they are all showing definite signs of knowing what to do with it now. They still try to hide from me when I take a piccie though...

Alison brought round the carrot thinnings just as she had promised to do when she planted the seeds ages ago. You can just see the tiny carrots on the ends of the tops.

This was given to all piggies as part of tea time veggies. They pronounced it GOOD!

And my girls showed how not to eat nicely....

Finally, here is a picture of what I can see just five minutes ago from my computer chair.

Other news, all are well. Nico hiding at the back is making him almost permanently whiffy and ammoniacal. I am only bothered because it will lead to sore bits so I will continue to wash just his bottom and tummy with warm water to keep him clean and will try to encourage him to go into the hay trays. I think he has a problem getting in and out. He did get cuddles with Alison and Jon today, he rather enjoys being cuddled and is showing less 'get off me' and more 'mmmm nice' body language. Charlotte is becoming more demanding, good oh. There were no wheeks for veggies early tonight as everyone was still rather full of grass. The piggies would like to say that the menu is very good and I would like to add that there will be a reduction in overall veggitibbles reflecting the fact that they filled up on grass and had carrot tops.

I hope you're having fun still, yesterday sounded really cool.
 
Aww gorgeous pictures x)

I'm very jealous of your view from your computer chair drool
 
Uh, Nico what are we going to do with you? Perhaps could you peg a bit of fleece over one of the hay trays, like the kind of tent your girls usually have and then he can hide in the shadows but keep clean. They look so happy on the grass, I will have to get the lawn sorted and get rid of the buttercups. How is Nico when you pick him up is he ok or does he try and run?
Been to see Briksdal Glacier today. Taken lots of pics. Had battered cauliflower in sweet and sour sauce with noodles for tea. Now sat up in the piano bar with a coffee with baileys in it. Still haven't seen any dolphins but I'm keeping an eye out for them.
 
That piano bar sounds great!

Looking forward to loads of pictures when you get back, please.
 
Yeah the piano bar is good, so many different cocktails. Great view of some mountains right now. The guy has just started playing. As for getting dark it gets dark a bit later than it does in England at the moment. Bit late in the year for midnight sun and we are a little too far south.
 
The view from my computer chair these days is so good - eleven piggies in that conservatory now! I keep glancing over and counting the ones I can see!

Nico will stay in the tray but doesn't like getting in. He does stay in once I've picked him up and put him in though. He is pretty ok about being picked up, provided I'm swift and certain handed. The longer I faff about the more he thinks about running away. He makes an indignant snuffing noise at first once picked up but quickly stops once the cuddles begin. I just can't keep the under ramp and rear of cage areas clean enough for him to stay clean!

I'm glad you're having a good time. Cocktails! Oooo there's posh! Give my best wishes to Jonny too, I hope he's having an ace time as well.
