I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go

- For reasons of hygiene, our hosting provider needed to move all
the gerbils into nice new clean cages — not just ours. Some of the less-well-behaved
gerbils (again, not ours) found the dislocation upsetting,
and made their displeasure known, as gerbils will.
Our gerbils, politely covering their ears and noses, were thereby
prevented from pedalling as vigorously as they normally do,
which is why there’s been unusually bad lag for the past couple of weeks.
On April 21st, conditions got so dire in one particular rack of cages that all
its occupants, guilty and innocent alike, had urgently to be hosed off and
(re-) rehoused afresh. To the hapless victims (like us) this had the
appearance of a crash, even though it wasn’t one really.
Fortunately that marked the episode’s nadir; we were back online within minutes
after the last gerbil finished towelling off. And since then, the rabble-rousers
seem to be growing accustomed to their new burrows, so harmony is gradually
returning to the power plant.
- During these excitements, we happened to notice, quite incidentally,
that a few of our gerbils had become slightly too fat and complacent in their
comfortable previous housing. So we’ve put them onto a healthful slimming diet.
