10.09.2024 A prickly problem.

 ~o~

   Tuesday 10th 54F/12C [8.15] Bright overcast. A dry morning with rain and wind this afternoon.

 I woke at 6.00 but dozed until 7.30. Dental appointment after lunch. 

  Time for a walk.  

Just a short walk down the neighbour's drive. It probably adds up to a kilometer in total from leaving the door to returning. A cloud of about 100 starlings was moving constantly between the trees. Sunny, but increasingly cloudy and rather breezy but not cold.

 12.00 It is becoming very windy. Back in for a rest and to cool down. I have been attacking the bramble patch with the hedge clipper again. Then dragging the debris outwards for loading the trailer. Handling the spiky stems is the next problem. Ideally, I need heavy, leather welding gauntlets but will try a fork and a rake first. 

 Back from the dentist. It rained and blew while I was out. Neither builder's merchant had welding gauntlets. None of the outlets, of the three I tried, had replacement heads for string trimmers. Though I did managed to get more DeWalt wire/string. 

 Dinner was chicken and mushroom curry. With whole grain, organic, brown rice well past its best by date.
