Hotmail has gone wonky. My work computer and my house computer both agree. As such I (and perhaps you!) might be a little slow to reply to comments for a while. Since I can't open them and see where they're coming from!

After my discovery that Neverwhere has been STALKING ME ALL MY LIFE, I took the dog out before going to bed, and found a hedgehog on our drive, just outside the garage door! A really very rare occurence. William naturally immediately ran and put his nose to it. But I pulled him away from a nose full of spines, and kept him away from the poor thing, and made him go do his business so we could all go to bed. Am still feeling some random pride over it. I kept my head when all around me were losing theirs! AND I WAS A MAN, MY SON! And so on.

I'll point out again that seeing any sort of wildlife besides insects and birds is pretty much foreign to me. Then on the train home today, I'm pretty sure I saw a rat running into the underbrush, and deer. Deer. DEER. Two, not one. In my little Yorkshire town. Beside a railway track, in between a council estate and a leisure complex. I didn't even know we had deer up here. But - apparently it's nature's turn to stalk me now. Something I'm not entirely unpleased with. Just slightly bemused.

Sunday night I saw a hedgehog too! And, yeah, living in central Southampton, that isn't a common experience.

OMG.

Perhaps they're breeding?

Or they want to move in? ::fears::

HEDGEHOGS. I wrote "hedgehods" first. Hedgehod is probably a valid dialect form in some parts of the country. And it's easier to type to boot. I like hedgehods. My young cousin has built a house for them out of bricks at the bottom of her garden. She hopes to tempt them to live in there by leaving them little clothes made out of tights. I THINK SHE HAS BEEN WATCHING TOO MUCH TV.

I saw deer last time I went home. And foxes. And a peacock. I'm not sure about the peacock, but I think it might have escaped from somewhere.

Watch out for nature, my friend. Don't get into a car with it. Even if it offers you sweeties.

Flee before their leader, Hedgehoddio!

Ahem. Clothes made of tights! What hedgehog could resist? Or live with all the ladders? I LOVE YOUR COUSIN. Also, I know she exists, which is new. What other secrets have you been hiding??

I'm not sure about the peacock, but I think it might have escaped from somewhere.

See, now I'm picturing a peacock version of the Fugitive. As though my head was not mad enough. THANKS SO MUCH!

Watch out for nature, my friend. Don't get into a car with it.
