Things to see

What's this?

This blog is where Matthew shares the nitty-gritty of what life is about, whether it be the optimal shade of tea, a review of a newly-released film, a passionate expose of theological doctrine, or just a rant about whatever is topical.

None of this blog should be taken seriously, unless otherwise indicated. The events described here and their real-life counterparts probably wouldn't get on at a party, so don't expect them to correlate easily.

Diamond and Pearl

Diamond and PearlI’ve finally got round to taking some photos of our gerbils, Diamond and Pearl.  Ellie was cleaning our their cage this morning so I had to babysit them both on the sofa, and took the opportunity to whip my camera out.  It’s actually quite hard to get a good shot of something so small and so quick moving!  They seemed more interested in trying to eat the camera strap than in posing for photographs.  I got a couple of good ones later when they were back in their home, with the camera lens right up against the glass.

The white one is Pearl, and the brown one with the white diamond on her head is… well, you work it out.  Both female, by the way.  And very sweet.
