Thorns

Having learned that it is not needed at work for the next two weeks, my body has decided to shut down and relinquish itself to the various bugs that it's been keeping at bay for the past few months. This means that a week of walks and trips has turned into a week of fruit tea, reading and sleep. Which could be worse.

Of course I dragged myself out of the back gate for a few minutes to grab a blip. This grasshopper handily presented itself within a few paces.
