For the next week, I will be able to submit definitions and vote...but I will be at the mercy of hotel Internet services until at least the 14th of July, so dealing may be out of the question (especially because I would have to deal manually). That said...my track record is such that it probably won't be a problem. :-)

And here are my votes for this round:
2. a young mink.
3. a young badger.

Just in case: if I should chance to win this round, I'd be grateful if someone else could deal for
me. We'll be on holiday until Friday 12th, without a computer, and though I might manage the odd
email, I think trying to deal with only a tablet and no guarantee of an internet connection would be
pushing my luck.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.
