A Hoglet.  Is that not THE cutest thing ever?

... that the title of this blog lied.

Everyday is not in fact a school day on this blog, because despite learning new things everyday, I haven't had the time to write about them, or even had the energy to rack my brains to think what I have learnt each day.  Normal service will be resumed ASAP
