Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, so let me use that day to tell the world that I'm trans. I haven't exactly been hiding it but didn't explicitly make a post about it yet.
Anyway, pronouns she/her, and using Maaike as a name but Ayke is also fine.
Hmm, there might be a blackthorn club, err, walking stick in this thing.
Definitely curved for lefties, this one.
Not sure how to treat it. It's super green right now. Probably not going to cure it for 2 years in the chimney though. 🤷

Goat pen #2 is also going down.
It was full of thorny fuckers*, which got cut down and piled up for chipping, although they don't even make usable woodchips due to the incredibly hard thorns that remain intact. They'll go through boots and tyres.
Maybe LV/EE want them for planting along the border? Couple meters thicket of these and no infantry will get through. Cheaper than barb wire and always stays sharp.
* Botanical term. Common name: Blackthorn
Two more views from Mullaghmore in the Burren on Saturday. We could feel the slight warmth from the exposed rocks, and it was mild enough to picnic at the cairn on the top.
