I had a very nice birthday

[alt_sally_anne]

My birthday was on Saturday. Last year it was during spring hols and no one was here. This year I got to see all my friends! Pansy gave me chocs, I didn't know she even had any left. And Hydra, sweetie, thank you so much again for the thought, it was really nice of you. You know there are just as many cats in my room as yours though! I will be sure to stop up to pet Tully soon.

And the pudding after dinner on Saturday was lemon cake and that was excellent even if it wasn't just for me.

And now I'm officially a teenager.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Hydra tried to give me her rabbit.

Which was really sweet of her but really strange, too. I mean, she LOVES Tully. I'm afraid if her mum finds out she'll be really cross, she was cross about Hydra getting the rabbit but she'd be cross about her giving it away, too, I expect she'd say it showed a lack of responsibility. Hydra said Tully got hurt once in her dorm room but there are just as many cats in mine, Pyewacket is clever enough not to try to eat someone else's pet but Fergus isn't.

I really really REALLY wish I had a pet. I've never been able to have one and I'd need permission from the Strettons and I don't want to give them -- well you know, if I had a pet they could threaten to take it away from me if I made them angry. Holding Tully yesterday before I said no almost made me think it would be worth it, though. Maybe if it were a really small pet they wouldn't have to know, they never come into my room as it is.

I wonder if

I've been hiding away the last bar of mum's chocolate for ages. It's not quite a proper birthday present, but we can make up for it over summer hols.
