Antihistamine time

The horse flies have arrived for the summer, which is as delightful as ever. Mutter.

This afternoon, we went to get things ready in the summer field, ready to move the boys up there tomorrow. It went much faster with Mike's giant new strimmer, but I fear that the woods are starting to encroach on the edge of the field: brambles and saplings are starting to appear, mixed in with the ever-present nettles and thistles.

Bob is also on the antihistamines: he had a lovely time in the field, charging around the undergrowth sniffing for bunnies, just like Jo used to. Unfortunately, Jo had a substantially thicker coat than he does, and those nettles I mentioned...? He's a bit uncomfortable still, but at least he's stopped charging around the house at full speed trying to find the perfect surface to roll on and stop the stinging. Poor lad!

Something, probably the same black and white something that was digging up the squash plants, has now dug up the slug traps as well. Which, I suppose, is preferable, if likely to lead to a hung-over badger!

It's all go there then...

When do you rest?
