Bit of a mixed weekend. We did a 5-mile Dartmoor walk, which was fun. We tried to have lunch afterwards at a cafe that stopped serving all hot food at 2pm on the dot, causing Polo to rant about the kind of toaster that turns itself off at 2pm and cannot possibly be turned back on.
Then we successfully had lunch somewhere else. Well, almost successfully: Mollydog ate all Az's tuna sandwiches, because it was a little bit busy and he was worried by the people coming and going, and had to hide under my chair.
( computer drama )
The next day, I went for a walk in ( Calstock )
Later, I felled a great quantity of Berberis, which is an annoyingly prickly shrub which grows far too quickly. We intended to make a bonfire for Guy Fawkes night, but alas, Berberis doesn't appear to burn very well. Or at least, it doesn't when newly cut. I intend to test its burning qualities again in a month or so, when it's had a chance to dry out.
