A new page in my sketchbook...
Like yesterday's painting, this was also painted with shaving brushes.... a large one, a medium one, and a small one.. I also used a fine brush for the detail.

I was to have met my friend today, but she was worried about the weather and the storm, so she cancelled...
It has been a beautiful sunny day today... and I thought I was going to have a day to do things I wanted to do...

But the badger has been a total menace in the night. He has wrecked so much, dug so many holes (or she or them). So instead of having a lovely day to myself, I am having to repair and sort out what the badgers have done.... and they have kindly left some holes with their poo in it... I can see it is full of seeds and berries so I have no idea what is going to grow in my garden next year. That will definitely be a surprise...

I bought some bird netting for another job, nothing to do with birds by the way... which I have not had a chance to do yet. So I will be using the bird netting to try and badger proof the holes where he is digging in from the end garden... I've just had my early afternoon nap.

Hopefully this might stop his or her or their wrecking spree... the bird netting and camouflage netting will not affect the cats, they walk on both of those, but if I sprinkle stuff like Chili powder and stuff then that will affect the cats, so I am bit restricted on what I can do. But badgers do not like netting or camouflage netting at all.....

I am just going have a cup of tea and then go out.

All of this stops my sorting out my bungalow tidying and throwing out and I have no energy left to do any of that...

So much for having a lovely peaceful day today....

I cannot stop the badgers coming in, they have several points of entry, and if I try to block them, they just dig a tunnel in, mostly from the person's garden at the end of my garden. It is just impossible....

Thank you for sharing the wonderful painting. Those badgers are a real nuisance but at least they aren't attacking you - they are quite vicious and not especially worried by humans.

Good morning @LouT

I take 500mg Metformin in the morning and 500mg in the evening. I am not sure what advice I can offer. Are you taking the metformin with food?

Does the Metformin have to be with your breakfast? Perhaps with your last meal of the day would work better for you. I don't know if that is possible, but your diabetes practitioner should be able to advise you on that.
