silk nest

Friday, work from home and trip to market to chat with fruit and veg guy about music. I mostly spent the day working on my report for the university  teaching course I am doing. The deadline is next week. The course was very enjoyable but I am now looking forward to finishing it. After work I went for a wander to check out any beasties. I did find warning signs of oak processionary caterpillars. I also spotted the caterpillars. They are covered in hollow hairs that contain a toxin that causes skin irritation. The recommendation is to stay well away from them. I didn't, neither did the people enjoying a picnic in the park.
