Desperation!

My plan was to Blip the lunar eclipse later tonight. Weather forecasts claimed we would see it in Yorkshire. Given the thick mist and rain I doubt it.

So it's a gerbil. This is Gonzo - he is not a rat, he's a friendly little fellow who lives with his brother Rizzo and likes to kick lots of crap shredded paper all over the floor. He also likes to run around frantically in his wheel at around 4am in a way that makes the whole house shake. We have a third gerbil, a little girl called Angel who we rescued; all of them live in my office and spend much of the day waiting around hopefully for bits of whatever I am eating. Which of course is usually lettuce or cucumber or celery. It is absolutely never crisps, chocolate or cheese.

I can't believe I have sunk to these depths!
