Merlin reporting from Paris on Badger's behalf, just to say that a carrier pigeon has left several presents on my window sill, including a message from Badger, to let you all know that it's impossible
to blog from underwater so unfortunately he's likely to be incommunicado until he returns from holidays.
The text of the message was a bit blurry, but it said something about having seen manta rays doing what manta rays do, and the general gist was that all is well, not to worry, and he'll surface in a week or so.
I'll let you all know if any other pigeons/seagulls arrive bearing news.
