The outside light of a house down the road keeps switching on and off. It’s too regular to be anything other than a fault.
 
that sounds adorable. what is the bother with leaving them where they are? are they a nuisance like chipmunks?
No . It's the fact that they are disappearing rapidly in this country and that Hedgehogs aren't supposed to be out during daylight . It usually means that they are starving, plus the two that I found were small . They are supposed to be at a certain size and weight to survive the winter .
My wife looked up how to care for them and it seems a bit complicated .
Keep them warm 18 to 20 C and in natural light . Don't give fish ,bread or milk . Preferably cat food .
It was nice to see 2 youngsters out just after sunset earlier this year, they too were at the bird feeder . Going by the size of the two rescued they must be a new batch .

No, I think the Insight is their smallest hybrid here., But I paid US 2.04 per gallon for gas last night.

Is that cheap or expensive?
I think that might depend on where you were. A US gallon (3.785l) would cost around £4 here, so US prices look pretty cheap to us. It probably looks expensive to the US driver, though - most of us tend to consider fuel costs excessive. Personally, I try to drive as economically as I can. Mean and green, I suppose.

Cat food goes down well with our local fat hedgehog, who's nicely tucked up in the hedgehog house at the end of my garden.

Lots of food at this stage and shelter, with somewhere cosy for them is a good start. Be aware they carry fleas and make mess so a sectioned off area of tiled floor is easiest. Once they're fatter they can be let back out on a warmer winter day and will trundle off to hibernate.

Yes. Gas costs more in Chicago, 150 miles away, and can vary widely even within a town. I use an app called Gas Buddy which lists all my gas stations in a local area with prices.
