Stanley the shark (named by Jim after Stanley tools) has been cruising the house with his new buddy Wembly (the shark vacuum). Those of you old enough to remember Fraggle Rock will no doubt recall with great fondness the phrase "You're wembling again!"

It seemed a very appropriate name for a vacuum that routinely gets stuck under a chair, or trying to eat the base of Fenris' scratching post.

You will be pleased to know that it only took four days for me to get my husband to start greeting Wembly in the morning like any other member of the family.
