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.

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...
