Essex Badger Protection Group & South Essex Wildlife Hospital do a fantastic job, saving orphaned badgers & releasing them to artificial setts. Builds are funded by EBPG & constructed by their dedicated volunteers. But they desperately need a release site in Essex. Please share

Paging folks with cooking nouse: I have some tuna with a use by date of today, that I won't eat. Is it okay to bung it in the freezer? Should I cook it first? Or even bin it - would rather not but it does look as though it might be on the turn. @wijsgeer.bsky.social

The watch for anyone else who needs 10 vibrating alarms on their wrist to do basic tasks. The watch bit only came loose because I accidentally put mine in eith the laundry by mistake and stretched the strap a little. tabtime.com/products/tab...

Have done loads of exposure this week. Now I'm cold (v unusual) & convinced I'm getting sick. So ofc the sensible thing to do is to sit and panic rather than getting up, turning the heating on and making myself some supper 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Learnt a cool new badger fact this week courtesy of @somanddevbadgers.bsky.social Let's have a quiz! What's the smallest gap, in centimetres, that a badger can fit through. Closest answer gets a virtual medal.

When someone says they need to talk to you about something, but not now, and they won't tell you what it's about.

And Womble of the Month award goes to ... me! Last night I checked my bank balance around midnight, had a mini panic & didn't sleep at all (for multiple reasons) Decided to have a nap at 10.30am. Woke at 2.30. Had to spend £25 on taxi to health appt Turns out appt is tomorrow 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

old friends catching up & assessing the week ahead

Solid explanation of dysautonomia as well as some recovery tips.

Extrapolated myself from stressful keyboard warrioring for a short #GetTheFckOutside A little black poodle (?accidentally) dropped their ball at my feet. I threw it for them & they brought it back to me🥰🥹

I'm supposed to be going for a walk and then choosing a new washing machine. Instead I am embroiled in trying to explain, to a mate's partner on FB, the difference between (valid) criticism of the actions of the Israeli government, and antisemitism. Sigh.

Lose yourself in the forest, and find yourself anew.

Yay: A bit more out in the world Boo: Somehow, while I've been hiding in my room, the price of a coffee & cake has nearly doubled

Somehow I seem to have completely failed to go to bed / sleep last night....

After a long winter, I’m beckoning spring with this beautiful scene by the great Lucy Grossmith. Sweet dreams, everyone 🤎✨

Third migraine in 4 days. Thanks brain!

Sending you off tonight with Hannah Willow’s ‘And he was made of Stars.’ Sweet dreams to each of you 🤎✨

Just After Dawn. 5°C and milky morning light. Geese in the fields.

Things I find at work.

Admittedly I'm a bit biased, but being replaced by a badger seems like a compliment of the highest order! Bobby concurs.

“When I get sick of what men do, I have only to walk a few steps in another direction to see what spiders do. Or what the weather does. This sustains me very well indeed.” ~E.B. White, Letter to Carrie A. Wilson (May 1, 1951) #Nature 📷©vivibene1

In the midst of my "just woke up" befuddle I accidentally took my night rather than morning meds. Now have to do a longish journey and can't decide whether this is: a) a good thing - less anxiety or b) a bad thing - feel a bit drunk and even less co-ordinated than usual😱

Could someone please throw me out of the front door and shove me in the direction of the pharmacy! #inertia

5. Bickering badgers ALT: Two European badgers on a patio. One is eating peanuts, the other uncovers better food from beneath a metal bowl. The first badgers tries to steal it and they squabble, shoving each other. The first badger wins.

Me: I set my alarm to music, & then beeping, & every day I sleep through it: 20mins of music, half hour of beeping, then another 2-3 hours of music. Mum: Goodness, I wish I could sleep like that. Me: Do you? Do you really? Even if it completely messed up your ability to work & function? Grrr...

Do I know anyone who has used a pet feeder, which can be controlled from your phone? Something like this.... Thinking of getting one for the badgers & wanted to ask a couple of Q's www.currys.co.uk/products/pet...

When you go to scratch your back and accidentally end up doing the splits! ALT: Black and white video of a badger on a stone tiled patio, surrounded by scruffy foliage. She twists round to groom her back with her mouth. As she does so, her back legs splay out from underneath her.

Beautiful girl!

Spring is coming

The time Mabel met a hedgehog, one evening in May 2024 🙂. #hedgehogs #cats

Continuing the #ERP Brief trip to Tesco without a mask, 1st time since masks were a thing. Felt more like I was in a war zone than a supermarket. Frontal lobes offline but did recall @debswithcats.bsky.social recommendation & got biscoff* cheesecake *autocorrect thought this was discomfort!

Stormy sky and daffodils. Photo taken this morning in Glastonbury about an hour before sunrise.

I just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition to demand the government protects us all from the impacts of extreme weather and the #ClimateEmergency. Add your name too! action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/tel...

Had a lovely chap from Wren Kitchens round to measure today. Ended up talking to him about badgers 😆 #onetrackmind

these two intrepid scouts will guide us safely into next week

Sweet dreams, everyone ♥️ (art Lucy Grossmith)

Significant bit of exposure in CBT today & now my brain is freaking out. 😞😱😖
