Gerbils, the zoo, nice weather and the harbour fest

Ok so first of all, one of my gerbils died. His name was Milo and he was adorable.

See? I loved him to bits but I still have Max, who I'll have to spoil now because he'll be lonely without his bro. He seems okay at the moment though which is good.

Anyway my brother and niece were here last week. I've talked about my niece before, she is literally the loveliest toddler in the universe. I suggested we go to the zoo because she'd love it (it was for me really) so we did and yeah it was really fun. They had dinosaur models that roared and she was terrified of them, and she also thought meerkats were gerbils. Cute. I miss her so much. I always miss her when she leaves. but it's the summer holidays now so I can see her a lot more.

The weather is finally getting better, it was decent yesterday and hit 25 degrees today AND it's getting hotter. So happy. I've been at the harbour festival this weekend. I'm not gonna lie it's a pretty shit festival and everything is painfully overpriced, but there's a nice atmosphere and you usually see loads of people you know. I went Friday night and today and despite just sitting in queen's square with a few people I really enjoyed it. Yay for being social.

I also got a new phone but that's boring.
