Today has mostly been spent not doing my essay for PI4, although it should have been. Instead I have been observing my new pets: gerbils.

It was home from University at about 1.00PM to wait for the delivery of my gerbils, and hopefully to get a good chunk of this PI essay done. Unfortunately the PI took a back seat to the gerbils when they arrived. I now have two male gerbils, one brown and the other white (and huge in comparison to the other), both are yet unnamed and any suggestions will be appreciated, my favorites so far are Pinky and the Brain.

They're as I type, scuttling around their cage, enjoying the use of the very noisy wheel. Hello sleepless nights!
