Autumn rays and a bruised nose

Mabel and Dijon have been spending much of the past few days soaking up the Autumn sunshine. They follow the rays around the room, stretching out in the sun, with Mabel throwing herself over as far as possible, nearly on her back.

Mabel has also been exploring the top of the cage. She jumps up onto the piano keyboard, as usual, to eat from her bowl of pellets (out of the reach of Dijon), but then often moves further onto the top of the cage to eat the hay which is stored there. She enjoys looking down on poor Dijon, knowing that he cannot reach all these special things! 

This morning she was a little too adventurous. She knows not to try to walk on the cage where it is not covered, but decided to leap off the cage rather than going down via the piano. Unfortunately she misjudged, and somehow crashed into the dining chair on her way down. She has a bruised lip, and looked a bit sorry for herself for a while, but fortunately there doesn't seem to be any serious damage, and she was soon back up there again!
