angrbodaI. Yesterday was eventful! Husband started working on putting my new computer together. He ran some tests and then we might sit down and migrate me on Sunday, because I'll need a little help with that. Sick Gamer Rig is coming!
II. Also yesterday, we went and fetched a hedgehog. I have mentioned before that Husband volunteers with this hedgehog organisation, where he is occasionally called upon to drive a hedgehog to a wildlife carer. Well, yesterday it was the other way around! The carer had one that was ready to be released but they had been having trouble finding a suitable place. They like to release them as close as possible to where they were found, so it ideally had to be in the town where we live, but for various reasons the actual finding spot was not suitable. So they asked him if we had an appropriate garden for it, and we do! Mrs. Tiggywinkle was released yesterday afternoon, in so far as we put the box down and opened it and she chose not to come out, so no pictures. They are nocturnal animals, so that was expected. I did see a hedgehog on the wildlife camera quite close by last night, though, which is almost certainly this one. We are to support feed it for about a week.
It was powerful cute and I wanted very much to pet it, but managed somehow to control myself.
III. On Saturday we went and spent the evening with friends which was lovely. We live a little ways apart and we're not good at arranging something very often, so to our surprise, it was determined that it was two years since we saw them last. Maybe we should try to aim for at least once a year in future.
IV. In other news, SIL's adoption process has come to an officially successful end a few weeks ago! I am now for ACTUAL REAL someone's aunt. First reaction to this news was to consider how old he will have to be to get something out of Legoland. The conclusion was at least 2-3 more years.
V. It appears I never actually mentioned it here, but my plan to sew a skirt out of some never used duvet covers? Success! (Picture over at Pillowfort) Has it been suitable weather that I actually wanted to wear it yet? Well... we live in hope. If it's suitable weather on a work day, I'll be cycling and so not wearing a skirt, so I'm a little limited.
VI. I thought I had more news... Oh well. 23 work days left before summer holiday.
