I pulled glitter out of my eye this morning.

The kids are watching "Short Circuit," a bad 80s robot movie that I loved as a kid and wanted to share with them.

There is SO MUCH swearing in this thing. It's a Disney movie, for fuck's sake! We don't make a big deal about language, but it's like they're watching The Wire up there...

Please forgive me for posting yet another picture of the damage caused by Badgers.
Generally speaking, it's an easy enough job to roll back the turf and end up with a reasonable end result without too much effort.
Unfortunately, the last visit was overnight last Saturday/Sunday after which the frost set in. It hasn't been out of the ground since then.
Under those circumstances it is impossible to even attempt a repair job. The temperature is forecast to rise over the next couple of days so I might be able to have a go on Friday.

Good job we don't have Wildebeest in this country.

You could trap them and sell them. A small sideline business, perhaps?

I Emailed the same picture to a mate. He offered to lend me a mouse trap.

Actually, I'm not going to be too harsh on the creatures. For years they were persecuted before they were afforded legal protection and the only time most people ever saw one was when it had been killed on the road.

It was rare indeed to ever see one alive, let alone have them visit your garden. Farmers aren't too keen on them as they can carry Bovine TB and experimental licensed culls have been carried out in areas where the disease is a significant problem. The outcome of the culls has been far from conclusive and feelings run high on both sides of the debate.

I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I like your garden. Maybe not the badger mess, but the rest is nice. Fairly large too by UK standards, isn't it?

Yes, it's not a bad size, all things considered.
The bungalow is set back from the road which is an advantage but the plot is a little on the narrow side.
The back garden slopes quite markedly and then plunges steeply to a stream. Dad was a keen gardener and I suspect that I am a disappointment to him in that respect as well as several others, but I manage to keep it reasonably tidy.
Let's be honest, I'm never going to trouble the judges at the next Royal Horticultural Society Show.

You have a stream? That's cool. It will come in handy during the zombie apocalypse.

But of course, that drunk driver who ran over your children was only drunk because he's been bullied as a child which let to a series of broken marriages and losing lottery tickets. So you can't be too hard on him.

Prepared to give them(him) the benefit of the doubt?
Sir, that's how empires are lost!

Well, not with an attitude like that, you won't.
