Yeah. And I had to ring up from half-way to Something Important to instruct it be given cat food instead. Truly. And my minion said it had escaped into the rest of the house. Which was due to be Inspected for some reason. Anyway, having a badger under the bed is a bastard. They can break a man’s ankle, you know. Or is that Swans? ---

My Dog and I were threatened by a massive male swan a few years ago, Gus. I have never been similarly threatened by a badger, so quite why I should come out in defence of the hissing- stamping- pecking barstewards of the avian world, I don’t know. I’ll put it down to the Bazz-Armagnac, taken in haste. Soo xx ---

Gus dear I have honestly fed swans by hand and stroked their beautiful soft fevers I have had blue tits feed by landing on my hand and pecking food from my hand Sparrers are more wary even the naive population in the hovel’s garden I am proud of the way I can sit for long enough to get wild creatures to trust me ---
