A plague of hedgehogs



Once many years ago I had a dream I was knocked over by a swarm of hedgehogs in the driveway of the house I lived in from ages 6-14. I remember there were so many hedgehogs rushing towards me that as they started climbing up my legs and onto my torso I buckled under their weight and finally toppled over. I woke up and my heart was pounding with adrenalin.

The last few days has been a bit like that. Lots of prickly hedgehogs have been running my way and I've been using all my energy just to try and brush them off me and keep on my feet. While there are still some of the little suckers milling around my ankles I must say that today has been a sanctuary of calm and serenity in comparison.
