Meeting Ali
Went into town today... I was meaning to appear early and get some thigns done in town, but I left a bit late and then as I left I saw a hedgehog toddling along my lawn. I watch it for a bit and it's walking funny, so I go over and poke it to se if it can curl up... it barely moves so I try to decide what to do... do I throw it in a hedge and see if I see it again, allowing me to definitely be on time to meet Alister in town?... or do I take it to Weirfield to be looked after ready for winter, but run the risk of maybe even cancelling this tea-date? I end up calling Weirfield, figuring it wasn't an important "date" and that I <3 hedgehogs... they say to bring him in and Sarah seemed pleased to hear from me. When I get him there I notice he has small yellow/white flecks on him, which Sarah said were fly eggs, along with a tick on his bum. At least I know he's in good hands :)
I managed to be nearly parked when I get a phone call. I pull over and Ali asks where abouts I am and we arrange for him to start his way to meeting me. We decide to grab some lunch and go up to the "Slug and Lettuce" pub, which was REALLY nice inside :) I just get some chips and a coke and we just talk about stuff. It was really cool, I'm enjoying getting to know new people and stuff... just need to arrange another meeting when I have money so I can repay him by buying him something and having more of a chat... since we only had a couple of hours in the end cos we both needed to collect small children...
I then picked up Kezia and Claire from school and we made fairy cakes, which was a bit solid but still edible and nice :3 It was cute letting them do the baking, too... and kept Claire out of trouble cos she's generally a bit of a menace... I'm gonna be an evil mum when I eventually have kids...
