Ehh… *the other night. 🤦‍♂️ should really read before hitting send, but was half asleep.

A nippy morning. Anu and I are out before sunrise, doing a quick check on some trees. There were high winds Tübinger night, so a lot has come down on the Helden tree. I should have laid nets down like last time, but had no time. And no time today as off to the fruit show again. Taken too much on.

I feel honour bound to try to ID the ones I couldn’t do on the spot! It flew by, but my social battery is empty, talking all day. And a lot of pressure people standing there hoping for an answer. But nice when I can instantly say what something is, but still a lot to learn. Tomorrow will be busier.

I brought back homework from today.

Doesn’t look busy now, but was a bit too busy for social media. Guess where I was sitting.

The Great Big German Perry Tasting Barry ( @barmas.bsky.social ) closes Perry Month with a bang, exploring a selection of German perries from an expanding range of makers.

Well, I think they might be overstating my expertise in the regional paper, but I‘ll be there doing my best to ID random pears at Gottersdorf this weekend. Translationen in the alt tag.

Hah! Waterlogged oak beams, could fit! I was hoping for gold 😜
