03/06/21 Heat, fields, thorns

A very hot day today, which gave me an opportunity to take Victor the off-road walker into the fields for the first time this year as things have now dried out enough. Most of the tracks are badly rutted after the wet spring and the walking wasn't too easy. At this time last year I was picking up punctures in walker tyres, but this time I got one in the sole of my shoe from this rather vicious thorn, a good 3cm long:
















Nevertheless, it was good to get out into the fields again:











Despite all that, bad attack of fatigue yesterday evening. Played online backgammon after the walk and tea, cooked dinner, back-flushed the filter for the small fishpond, then just collapsed. Haven't done a useful thing except on the computer all night, and much of that time was asleep. But of course once it got past midnight, I started waking up and feeling a bit livelier again. It's the curse of the night owls...
