Surprise visit

We hadn’t seen this chap or any of his family for a good nine months. For a while we wondered whether they’d quietly left the neighbourhood – although a couple of weeks ago, a characteristic track appeared across our front garden…

… tonight it was a delight to have him (her?) snuffling around just a few feet away, whilst we watched from the other side of the back door.

The bread was meant for the birds though – is it ok for badgers to scoff that much? They’re meant to be carnivores aren’t they?

Wish list

I’ve never really had the combination of time plus inclination to set up an online wishlist. But if I did, it would have just one item.

This one.

$416 – that’s 240 quid! For the entire Dogmatics? Astonishing! Would probably cost nearly as much again just to ship it, but hey, it’s the Dogmatics… [drool]
