Maybe both! 🐹

I got really excited yesterday as the doorbell rang and I thought it might be Cedric with the Gerbils.

But it was Claude with his van, drumming up trade for his fortnightly meals on wheels delivery.

However in reality, as Cedric has an international key for everyone's postbox, he will simply slip it in with no fanfare. He doesn't know any better.

I have merch.

And weirdly because Cedric and Claude came at the same time, some almond tarts.

So it's win-win here today.

Nice haul! 💜

Which t shirt is going on first?

Waits patiently to be offered an almond tart...nicks one whilst Alison is looking at her t shirts

mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

Wipes crumbs off chin.

No, I haven't seen your almonds tarts!

I'm already in the Suffragette Lion.

They are all so good. This is more clothes than I'd usually buy in a whole year so that's me kitted out for the summer now.

Now, about those tarts...

Good choice!

I fear another buying binge is due at my end! You can never have too many t-shirts!

What tarts?

Ize got fotograffic eviduns of beetil eatin yr taart. An then beetl tryd two fraym me by dumpin crums on me hed. Dazztrdly beetl! Deffnutly dint tuch no tartt, noooo siree, def not mee!

....my t-shirt and tote have arrived 😁

Love the expressions on the little faces. I ordered a Grimbjt Gerbil t-shirt, I'd quite forgotten which design I'd picked. It's going to take some explaining if anyone asked me wtf it means. What was the 'HITE IR STILED, GHMARIT' supposed to say before AI mangled it?

No tarts though 😢

The misspelling cracks me up every time.

'HITE IR STILED, GHMARIT' sounds very similar to what I mutter under my breath when I come across the following (but broken and/or wobbly).

As an explanation, that'll do.

Gerbils like things to be well maintained apparently. 🐹

I wasn't eating it, merely moving it out of the way in case somewhere tripped over it. And as for the framed by crumbs, do I seem like the sort of beetle that would do something so dispicable?!?! 😏

I eat rats as well you know.

Usually with fava beans and a nice Chianti!

No bloody clue!

I bet when they were printing that t shirt design off they've been thinking, idiots! They've spelt everything wrong! Shouldn't trust AI!

Holey mowley, yooz won scaree beetle. Sqeek 😨

Alrite I mayuv hadd a nibl uv tha tarrt...

I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you 😔

Here... Let me give you a hug...

😬

Cauliopterrifyin

So...you don't want that on a t-shirt then?

I actually really want this on a tshirt. Am I weird?

Not in the slightest!

You might want to stay away from Asia.

That looks less like a hug than a chokehold to be honest.

They're obviously just very small deep fried rats!

And if they aren't very small deep fried rats 😱 my entire extended family!!!!!

In my defence I submit a screenshot of the instruction I gave the AI and it's output!
