These are Pa Badger, Ma Badger, and Boy Badger from last year's brood. A very close knit family...
Currently it doesn't look as though Ma and Pa Badger have any new Badgers this year...
Three Badgers
42 secs

Creative... I don't have much time this morning, my creative braincell decided to crawl back under the bedcovers. I cannot do that as I have a list of jobs to do before the day heats up any more...we are now up to 20.1 C in the back garden, Google concurs with a 20 C, but promises me 26 C later. Yesterday Google told me it was 29 C. So, is the heatwave nearly over?
Creative...these two pages were the bleed through the pages from a rather wet ink blot a few pages earlier...first I saw (on the page on the right) a beautiful bird, then I saw a cartoon man with wing running, then it changed...
So, for today I will leave this imagination lark to the viewer....

The chilli powder also worked to deter the Badger from upending the wormery in the back garden, my cover kept the lid on.

So what did the Badgers do last night...plenty...my strawberry towers got dismantled...I had already planned on bringing the strawberries (for/by next year) through to my Hanging Gardens of Babylon outside the kitchen door, I was still working on an irrigation system...now, I have no strawberry plants...they were not your regular garden strawberries, they were Alpine strawberries, and some very tiny strawberries I got from a gardener of a grand house somewhere when J was alive. So I have had these tiny strawberries about 17 plus years.
So my other job this morning is to put all the soil, or maybe put the layers of the planters that had the strawberries in, in a much higher up in a badger inaccessible place...is there one?

Hope you have an amazing day....

Take care...

Really happy with 5.6 this morning - especially after water 3 scoops of salted caramel ice cream at the Victoria yesterday.

Today we are off to wander around Norwich and we are going for a meal at Wagamama (daughter and granddaughter 's favourite place to eat in Norwich). I will take my Montazumas as a special treat after the meal.

Mr K suggested that it would be better if he stayed at home and looked after Poppy. What a shame that he will miss the wandering around the shops.

Lucky Mr K @Krystyna23040
That would be my preferred activity, to stay at home and look after Poppy...

Good morning everyone, it’s all hands to the sails this morning. Picnic made and when the girl in the bubble arrives we are off to chase the tide which will be high as a kite at 1pm and so no sand please, we’re British. Art bit - never mind the ink mum, we are having fun. More ink on the garden path than at a Japanese squid eating contest. Mucho joy, where’s my koffy.

Wow @dunelm
Love the foot tree....
Much fun there...
 
Difficult to breathe here...Temp now 29 C at 2: 30 pm...Doing @dunelm 's breathing exercises of earlier today...
Fitted one of my bedside fan-misters to my shirt. I look like some weird monster...breathing better with one of these misters in place.

I had an idea for a painting when I saw @dunelm 's painting this morning. I found a set of five canvas boards while doing a bit of tidying this morning.
Spent the last hour doing imaginary painting hand movements in the air, because there is only one chance to get the painting right...you'll realise when you see tomorrow...
Then a text came through from Amazon....I had ordered some kuretake pens and some interesting white stuff. They were due in at the collection point on Saturday, but have arrived now, and the white stuff might make or break the painting I have in my head, based on haikus or tankas I wrote over ten years ago...no idea where copies would be. I never published them in a book, but I might have posted them online...
Won't pick pens etc up today, too hot for me, but will do first thing in the morning when it is cool and I am fresh as a daisy.

My post will be late tomorrow because I will be experimenting.......

Morning all from L.A. on another sunny day. No fbg to report but if Elsie Keto is of any use in managing The D I got the memo and am sticking with the program. Sixth birthday for our granddaughter and all seven grandchildren, sons, partners and JKP stayed in a hotel before a day at Pleasurewood Hills. @Krystyna23040 really good news on the fbg after the ice cream. Mr K's judgement is as impeccable as ever. Shops in this weather - just say no :playful: @JohnEGreen I hope you slept better last night and your O2 levels are better. @Annb good news if things are easing even if but slowly. I'm currently watching the female triathletes. All so blessed: they with athleticism and me to have nothing worse to do than that. Enjoy your day, hydrate and be careful in the sun.

Mr K was the wise one @ianpspurs. It was so so hot, but lovely to spend the day with daughter and granddaughter.

I forgot to take my Montazumas with me but luckily there was a Hotel Chocolat shop near Wagamamas and they also did really nice 100%.

Had a lovely salad with strips of beef flavoured with Thai spices. Very low carb with no sauce and no dressing but really delicious.

After more shopping we went to M&S upstairs cafe where carrot cake and scones, jam and clotted cream were consumed. Not by me, of course, but I did have more of the 100% batons than I meant to as they were so lovely.

Have had a bad few days, and not much time to post.
Migraine completely flooded me.
Mrs L has been intolerable. But it's not her fault.
Gasmen have been digging up the road again.
Further down road neighbouring us, woman won't have them in house.
House alarm and fire alarm knackered connection in electrical box, fuse changed.
Mrs L upset me.
Things just not going right, in middle of decorating and it's a mess.
Accidents, quite a few. Both of us have tell in bath taking a shower.
Too hot!
I like the sun but it's just so hot in my garden, around mid 30's in my suntrap.
Gotta go Mrs L, wants a shower
No chance of going through threads and posts.
I do apologise.
Lots of love and best wishes.
Lamont. D
