Rats

On Sunday, Liz and I welcomed two new pets into the flat: Derek and Hansel (named after the lead characters in the film Zoolander) who are two Rex rats. They are both fully grown having spent the first 6-7 months of their lives in pet shops. They are lovely friendly creatures, and they're both bloody huge. They dwarf Minsk, that's for sure.

I suppose I ought to also mention that I've started my new job. Well, I say "job"; At the moment we've got nothing to do so it's mainly a case of sitting around waiting to be given some reading to do.
