We have two lodgers staying with us for the next 2 weeks. I'm really annoyed with my sister for going on holiday and leaving them with us. We're not really equipped to deal with this sort of thing, especially as we have none of our own and not likely to have any either.
What makes it worse is that they're vegetarian. What exactly do veggies eat? It's not that easy when you're used to catering for the 2 of you to fit in other dietary needs. It just makes life harder. I mean you can't just open a tin of something to feed them.
We're also left with the added responsibility of ensuring that nothing untoward happens to them. This is not really a neighbourhood renowned for easy exceptence of others. That's why I fit in so well here. They also have an allergy to cats; I'd hate to see what happened if our 3 cats mixed with them.
Then at 23:00hrs yesterday my sister rings because my brother in law is worried and wants to make sure that they've settled in ok. We'd already been told that they needed a story before they went to bed and FW had told them one before they went to sleep.
Mind you I must say that they've been very quiet and not caused any trouble for us. In fact we haven't heard a peep out of them. I never knew that Stick Insects were so well behaved.
