Following on from yesterday’s badger blog, I decided to take the same route to work this morning, probably because I am a creature of habit (not sure if there is a pun there).
Again, I had misjudged the location of the badger and was in danger of suffocating. I decided to take a breath and could not smell anything. In fact the badger was not where I thought it was.
I then saw some debris on the road, but no sign of the badger at the side of the road.
But no, hang on, what was that on the opposite side of the road, generally in line with the trail of debris………….
It was an empty badger skin.
It was not squashed and splatted, but just floppy and empty.
Conclusion: The badger did in fact explode during the night, blasting it across the road.
