Boy Badger trying to get on swing...

This is sped up, because this Boy Badger was doing this on & off all night...
It seems to me he has lost the plot a bit and is not sure what exactly he is actually doing...
He has watched his Pa trying to get on the swing, but all he has seen is the destructive behaviour of Pa Badger, which hasn't really been destructive behaviour but Pa Badger trying every means to get on the swing, for any stray cat biscuits or to sit on the swing (like Cat Midnight), and groom himself...
By the way, months ago I tied all the cloths to the swing as they were being pulled off by Pa Badger (then called KissyKissy because he kept 'kissing' Cat Midnight), on to wet muddy ground...
1 and a half minutes long

Creative...
I sat on the swing late afternoon watching my back garden. This is the scene.
The sparrows have chosen their partners for next year's brood, and the squabbling has stopped. Seagulls overhead. The little Dunnock is back after her brood has flown away. She gets perilously close to Midnight, who does not have one jot of interest in birds...
And I was thinking.
I'd had a noisy day with the waterboard there nearly 5 hours in all. It was not something I had asked to be done, but Mr Xmas Lights Berlin Wall neighbour had requested a water meter. The problem for me was the stopcock for me and him were both at the end of my driveway, and they said they would be an hour, but there were problems. Both stopcocks for me and him were joined together in one hole. Weird. As usual when noisy work is to be done he and his wife disappear for the day, or for a few weeks when he had work done on his driveway/bungalow/ etc etc leaving me with the dust and noise etc. So I ended up talking to the workmen who thought this was going to go on until tomorrow. I said no, I wanted this finished today. I supplied them with coffee (they did have another job up the road for a water meter which they said they needed to do today). Anyway, give them their due they completed it. And went up the road to see if they could do the other water meter, they did and that was a simple job which was completed in less than an hour.


I have just put some stuff in the car, flask etc, and escape to England and sanity...

Mrs Berlin Wall Xmas Lights neighbour was at the front sweeping, and I said a bright and cheery good morning, and she gave me a dirty look, stopped sweeping and went in...

Bye for now....

Sorry, I haven't checked for typos, will do that tonight...
