By now, you\u2019ve probably seen the John Lewis advert <\/a>with a pair of my species-mates bouncing about carefree on a backyard trampoline. Whilst one may assume that it\u2019s a life of slyness and leisure for all of us, I\u2019d like to set the record straight: it\u2019s hard work being a fox. I\u2019ve got quarterly prey quotas to hit, and I need to keep track of my food cache (which someone seems to keep clearing). I\u2019ve got to stay one step ahead of those red-blazered folks on horseback, who really seem to have it in for me. Plus, my boss is a real badger. So as you can guess it\u2019s in her nature to\u2026 well, badger me: where\u2019s the reporting on den fortifications? Where\u2019s the deck on our new vole hunting strategy? Are the beavers switching from a waterfall model to DevOps (dam engineers)?<\/p>\n

To be honest, it can all get a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, though, I\u2019ve got a Surface Pro 4; you can watch me at work right here:<\/p>\n
