You know when you've been BADGERED

Proper update to follow (perhaps) but in the meantime... BADGERS BY POST! Somebody anonymously sent me a gorgeous soft fluffy badger hand-puppet. It can move its hands and its head and its mouth independently (if I don't get my fingers in a twist) and it has a wicked grin. Lovely badger! And lovely person who sent it -- if you're reading this, thank you.
