blimey - that would be a bit dispiriting to wake up to - whether you're fond of badgers or not
Feeling rather glum here. Gloomy weather - thick drizzle - and one of our dogs died yesterday. Not the one who has been unwell, the other male. Collapsed while out for a walk and died by the time OH had carried him home. We're a bit shocked - OH especially.
Think we may light the fire tonight - it's not cold but it is damp and we need a little cheeriness.

That is so sad @raisingirl - definitely cosy-up tonight and have something nice to eat or drink. I hope all your lovely memories will help you through this horrible time.
We were very lucky last night was dry as went to a garden party, although the cardies and coats were on as soon as the Sun went in. Very Autumnal today though.
@raisingirl I’m so sorry to hear that, what a shock, never good when a pet leaves us, I hope you have some lovely photos and memories of good time together.

Hosta Hugs for @raisingirl. @Busy-Lizzie it's pretty tough, it just looks exotic. I've never lifted it so it copes with our winter wet too. I'm seriously thinking of sticking the heating on.
Just been looking at my thermostat console... 18 degrees in the lounge which, in Winter, I would not be happy with and crank up the heating. My personal rule is: no heating June to August. Ever. The fire doesn’t count though 😉

That's such sad news raisingirl, what a shock for you.
A shock for the people with badgers on the lawn, but that can be repaired.
Thank you Hosta, that's sweet of you, but how hardy is it? Can it overwinter in a darkish garden shed if it's tender?
