Communism and Badgers

 Monday has come away, following Sunday like an unwanted and slightly snotty younger brother when you want to play football down the park. The snotty younger brother - Jethro, this is an imaginary younger brother by the way, not your fine self who managed to generally keep the snot within your snout - didn't treat me too badly. I spent most of the day researching poems from different cultures that are featured in the GCSE anthology. It is genuinely fascinating stuff. My investigations into 'What Were They Like?' by Denise Levertov led me to learn about the Vietnam War and communism.

Before the snot dribbled into today - I think the metaphor is going a little far now and getting slightly confusing - I had a nicey-nice Sunday. After church I wandered to Stanmer Park for the Springwatch Festival. There were copious stalls about various environmental stuff like birds of prey, plants and badgers. The badger stall is one I have manned in the past and due to my lack of attendance at the Mid-Sussex Badger Protection Group I felt slightly nervous about going to greet my fellow badger-loving beings. When I was behind the Badger Stall the head honcho of the MSBPG grudgingly admitted that there was more to life than badgers. Indeed there is but badgers to make a fine part of life; that cannot be denied.

Football has continued to be watched and we are now approaching game 6 - so far they haven't been crackers but I'll stick with it and no doubt the first match I miss will be a goalfest.
