3.12.2025 Let the battle commence.

  Wednesday 3rd 41F/5C[8.00] Another cloudy day with rain later. Light SE winds.

 Up at 7am after getting up at 3am and returning to bed after a couple of hours.

 I hope to go for a ride. If it is dry this morning.

11.30 I couldn't summon up the enthusiasm for a ride. It was too dark, too grey and too cold. So I moved the stack of now soggy, ex-observatory plywood. From leaning against the chestnut tree stump to lying flat on the ground. To suppress the brambles which were rapidly growing back. Far worse than before my earlier clearance. 

 The plywood which I had already laid. Had done an excellent job of flattening the brambles. The main problem was the new brambles had enclosed the remaining stack. Plus the sheer weight of each sheet of very wet plywood. 

 This made for a very breathless effort. I worked at it steadily and was finally rewarded with successful completion. I can now watch myself moving in rapid motion on the security camera recording. As I take a much needed break.

 Dinner was a salmon pasty and chips. No imagination and nothing else in the fridge.
