Badger run

Saw two badgers on my latish (out around 9.30pm). bike ride last night.  Either that or one very fast badger, that managed to get up and down that hill before i did. They are quite strange to see up close when they're running. Theres a lot of fur going on, like someone sprinting along in a winter jacket that's far too big for them. It's all there, semi-rotating around an axis like a tumble dryer drum of shag. I thank you. It was good to get out into the relatively cool woods after an oppressively hot day.
Basically stayed inside with A/C on, doors and windows shut. Gunk eyed twins for company. Had a very refreshing swim at the lido in the village with da gals and then drove to Malaikas birthday bash. Ate inside the mozzy proof gazebo in the garden, but dammmn started to sweat straight away. No breeze in there. Lovely food though. 
Daniel showed me his new 'hand drum'. Lovely sound. Never seen one beofre. It's like a steel drum but convex instaed of concave and portable too. So you play it in your lap. Very mellow harmonious sounds.
