The Pointy Beast Game

[bugshaw]

I have been having a productive day getting through some of the millions of things on my To Do list, and I got to

Item 5: Clear pile of old leaves from doorstep as the bins are emptied tomorrow.

So I got a bag, and started stuffing handfuls of leaves into it, until I found a hedgehog! It was all curled up, so I put the leaves back again. Living out in this village is better than the zoo!

[Hints on what to do about hedgehogs? I plan to not disturb it.]

You're doing the right thing ... don't disturb it. It'll trundle away in the spring, and you won't have any slugs in your garden in the summer.

This situation shows exactly why it's really not a good idea to use a fork to gather up garden rubbish at this time of year.

Of course, for maximal effect, don't throw away leaves anyway, but make a cage out of chicken wire, through leaves into it, let it rot down into leaf mould, and when you don't have a clue what to do with it, let me come up and take it away if you're still there in a year!
