So, to compensate for my misdemeanour, I will share the last google search to land someone on this blog :
'dirty poems about sheep' (warning - this link may not be Badger Friendly)
Is that a more comfortable level? ;)
But seriously, I seem to have shifted from asking "is that too personal?" when I write to wondering "is this too impersonal?". I have given myself permission to blog my verucca*, but I still feel a bit wobbly about sharing my world view. This does not sit comfortably with writing a book about how to save the planet. You will read it when it's finished? And not be cross that it doesn't have any fornicating frogs or photos of Ruby in it?**
*For those who are interested, I have had a verucca on my left foot for over 10 years. I have half-treated it numerous times and always lost interest just in time to let the little bugger recover. And then a few weeks ago it spontaneously disappeared, just after I returned from a weekend of traipsing through deep scottish peat bogs. Coincidence?
** Actually, the book features both fornicating*** frogs and photographs of Ruby - how could I let you down?
*** Badger thought fornicating was a kind of dance. I suppose she's not entirely wrong :) Badgers**** are brill, every family should have one.
**** Did you know that Badger is doing all the design / artwork / graphics / layout for the book? She is really really really talented. We are going to put her on Britain's Got Talent. Doing animal impressions and photoshop manipulations at the same time.

I'm probably not the best person to comment on whether you blogging about politics is a good or a bad thing because I thought your post was really interesting. However, seeing as you have not been blogging as much, at least now we know why!
A 10 year verucca is fascinating as well though, but not in a potentially life changing way...
I'm so glad I didn't know about your verucca before...
Ten years? So, you know your verucca better than you know Ruby, are closer to it, and yet you've never blogged your relationship with your verucca before. How can that be?
I think perhaps I still have post-erg-brain-oxygen-deprivation-as-this-doesn't-make-sense-any-more...
Hi RR - yes, thanks for engaging :) I'm kind of missing my verucca actually - it's be with me for so long ...
But why? - ah, you see, a doctor did confirm that it wasn't the spreadable type several years ago, or I wouldn't have been quite so casual about it in shared housing. Wow - yes, it shared almost 1/3 of my adult life ... I'm not sure how I could have omitted to mention it before now ...
I'm off to get a bucket full of peat water. Meeester has a verruca that just won't budge no matter how many toxic skin burning chemicals you apply to it. He got it from East Kilbride's Dollan Baths three years ago so it must be a particularly virulent strain. I figure that the countryside eco-mix of bog peat may trump the EK new-town bacteria.
I can't believe you so casually blog about feet! Feet are one of my biggest fears, along with the K word.
I would like to do Britains Got Talent so I can meet Simon - I have perfected my chicken noises again now too, having spent almost a week in the company of 6 chuckanoos, one cock and little human contact.
Miss you all. *cluck*

Misssy M - ah, now, I believe that may be where I learned to swim as a baby ...
But yes, it was the peat bog round the back of ben nevis if you're looking to be specific. I think I was exposed for about 9 hours over 3 days - I'm not sure all of that time is strictly necessary. Beware open injuries, Ruby's foot was horribly infected within 24 hours. Good luck. We look forward to reading the results of this experiment.
Badger - we miss you tooooo. *cluck*
