I cheated really and just added another poppy item to Friday's outfit ;)

hands your HA a black coffee to help wake him up ;)

hehe i did notice :P hehe

:P RP-Paddy said that counted as "different" enough for a second day's outfit :P

looks at your HA 😱 EEEEEEEK!! hides behind the sofa 😳

....

erm I mean "great HA" nods 😇

Hopefully that will keep the onions will be nice and snug for the winter. :) Having a good start on the week? :)

Creepy crawlers HA.. we likey!

nods didn't get a chance to get them planted yesterday, but hopefully by Wednesday it'll be dry enough to get them in! ;) Yeah, it seems to be going quite well so far, how's about you? :)

:fingers crossed: :)

Just finished another hat (minus the two crochet flowers: and visiting my cousin later on. :) So cant complain here. :D

That's fantastic! :D By the way, if there's a clear sky tonight, keep an eye out when the moon rises, as apparently it'll look larger than normal ;) (I took a few photos last night, as they've been forecasting cloud for here for tonight :K ;))

This one was from the weekend: ;)

haha can't argue with that I guess :P lol I'm glad you like xD -giggles- I couldn't resist it. I can see some hobbit and harry HAs too why thank you

hehe it definitely suits you ;) I'd almost forgotten about the spider in the Hobbit - that'd be perfect for a hobbitsey HA :D

how could you forget? lol its HUGE love the allotment look today

probably because I need to re-read the book.... and watch the LoTR / Hobbit movies laughs :P

Thanks :D I thought I'd send RP-Paddy to plant some stuff ;) She wanted a lantern as she's planting in the dark ;)

yes lol there's some in the hobbit too xD haha well maybe she'll spot your dad in his badger jammies

Actually, re-reading those might give me the inspiration to get on with another pet story or three ;)

ROFL Mum wasn't too pleased last week - the badger broke through the barrier she'd set up under the fence :P Unfortunately it's taken to using our garden as a loo.... Mum's been blaming the local cats for that, but we'e kind of proved it wasn't them now (after I emailed my vet friend with another photo and she confirmed it's badger) :P

see lol now you need to there's gotta be something to keep it out o.0

definitely! :D

The only thing that deters a badger.... is male pee and dad refused :P It's not just our garden (which is a positive) - it's dug holes in the council grass and all the other gardens nearby (some look like they've been ploughed, it's dug so much!)

couldn't they catch it and put it in a preserve or something?

trouble is, there's at least two different families - one comes in from up the road (and breaks through a broken fence), and the other (family - a neighbour has seen at least three together) are the ones that break in through the blocked fence from the other side, and use the garden as a toilet.

They built some houses on the fields about a mile up the hill over the last year or so.... and I think that'd encouraged the badgers to come further this way - we'd never had them on the allotment before, but this year it was definitely a badger that trampled through my raspberry patch o.O

They are (I think) culling more badgers again (in a controversial attempt to stop bovine TB), but if there's a sett nearby (which I think there has to be), it's illegal to disturb the sett.

sounds like a major problem

if we can stop them using the garden as a loo, I'm not too worried about them returning to root around in the soil - when we get the fence replaced (finally), we might need to include a way of them getting out of the garden at least, otherwise they'll just break through the new fence panels o.O ;)

like a large cat flap?
