This as good a place as any, I guess, cuz, I am mildly irritated...
I got mail this morning. I very, very rarely receive mail (oh, I get stuff addressed to 'occupant', and 'or current resident', but never real mail). It was from AARP. ![]() I'm 46, ya AARPy fukkers! ![]() I grabbed my Sharpie, and set to work. And then put their now-unpleasantly-revised form in their post-paid envelope, and promptly sent it back. ![]()

Adding a cat would cost me $1000 of additional security deposit.

My cats bring me mice. And voles. And shrews. And the occasional rat. Not necessarily dead.
Actually that mildly irritates me, too!

Last night a Badger, or possibly Badgers, decided to excavate the back lawn.
My objection isn't so much the damage, which is easily rectified, but the fact that being nocturnal creatures they're difficult to spot. By pure good luck, Dad looked out the back window just before 9pm one evening last month and, in the light from the house, saw one pottering about the lawn. It didn't do any damage and we wouldn't have known that it had been there had Dad not spotted it. Eventually, it ambled off past the honeysuckle to I know not where. For most people the only time they see a Badger is when one has met its doom on the road. I am quite fond of the creatures so don't begrudge them their forays into the garden. They are opportunist feeders and will take whatever is on offer. I believe that they are after Chafer grubs which seem to be in surplus at the moment. The same thing happened the Autumn before last. Anyway, this is what it/they did... ![]() It only took a few minutes to roll it back again. Last edited by Carruthers; 10-25-2014 at 05:08 AM. Reason: Spilling. |

Badgers here are a protected species, although they are being culled in some areas where Bovine TB is a problem as they can carry the disease. That's a debate for another time. We tend to be fond of the creatures here as they were once quite rare and seldom seen. They've made a remarkable recovery in recent years. ![]() |

Holey shyte. Those badgers are amazing in an irritating way. Never seen anything like that before.
