Well, this is definitely not what they had in mind.

As anyone who has ever read this blog at any point will know, I almost never get around to sleeping.  Well, doing ridiculous things like this is part of the reason why!  I stumbled across the verb for ‘snuggle’ in class this morning (I guess that’s now yesterday morning..) and haven’t been able to think of anything but hedgehogs since.  So, here’s a story in Russian and English, about the adventures of a hedgehog named Charlie.  (Thanks to Fedya and Anya for correcting the worst of my errors!)

Quick update: Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and feedback!  I’ve corrected my mistakes on the paper copy, but won’t upload new pics with the fixed Russian.  Also, sorry for the massively confusing thing that the mother hedgehog says, it doesn’t translate very well..!  I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the siesta from alcoholism and politics 🙂
