Just found this website @Reynard and these gloves, which they do in small sizes. I Just chose a pair that seems sensible.

You will have a much better idea, of what you need. The Kevlar gloves are a tad on the expensive side. 🤔

I have not used that site, I hasten to add. The have a size chart which shows up when you click on the item. You can narrow down the search choice by size, and task etc. Hope that helps.

I hope you didn't laugh at the fact that I thought you needed gloves for shucking oysters. 🤔

I might get myself some of these https://www.workgloves.co.uk/ejendals-tegera-19-heavy-duty-welding-gloves.html
or these https://www.workgloves.co.uk/polyco-polyflex-hydro-c5-phyk-cut-resistant-work-gloves.html

I have a large very prickly Berberis to prune. It is a giant and has prickles and thorns of a giant size. I want to keep it in the garden, because at the height of summer it provides dense shade on very hot days,

I've had a letter from Boris Johnson. Apparently, there's an election soon and he says I ought to vote for him because Brexit is done.

Who knew?

In slightly more exciting news, I've been updating the cycling club website. It looks much better, if I do say so myself. Just need a few bits of up-to-date info from people to make it accurate.

Since using their method of counting I've discovered that I have 50% more bikes !

Well, I'm intolerant to oysters, so I'll let you off on that one.

They only seem to do the big manly sizes that will make me look like a wicket keeper. I normally buy kiddies gloves or XS adult gloves.

Anyways, I am much in need of a so BRB...

Must dash, leeks Florence fennel n spinach, to harvest

Does your trebuchet have the range to reach as far as East Anglia? That lot would be mighty fine in a cheese sauce together with some salmon and smoked haddock, and topped with cheesy mashed potato.

Might be a tad bruised by the time they got to you..
Would take several sequential launches from Devonianshire.

Surely there must be a veg grower of quality in your area..?
I know a few organicistas out your way..

Mmmn the Fennel is gooood

Nice recipe idea though.. That might have to be Friday night dinner

Yebbut you make your veggies sound sooooo gooood

Actually, there are a few decent places around here that sell by the side of the road. The market in Ely is a waste of time for the most part as it's overpriced and under-qualitied. Weird, considering we're on the edge of market garden territory here.

I do grow my own fruit and herbs though. Organically too - don't use any garden sprays because of the cats.

Are you looking in the right place? 🤔 The smallest size is 5 which is 5 inches all around the widest part of your hand.

As an example if you refine your search (on the left hand side of the screen) you can choose by "Use" , which includes fine handling work and then Size.

They do a size 5 in these: https://www.workgloves.co.uk/fine-handling-gloves.html

Well, I'm looking at what kind of glove I want...

These are what I currently have, but it seems they no longer do them in XS

These are for children aged 3 to 7. You will be telling me they are too small and you do not like orange or blue.

Brilliant time saving theory!
However, my mug of milk takes 2 minutes 10 seconds to reach optimum temperature, so I'll need a protractor and slide rule to work out the angle the handle needs to be set at..

Depending on the direction of rotation, either 120° or 240° from due north where north is the door

The same has happened to Leicester Market, I think they all buy from the same wholesaler.

That's just down the road from me, Maz bought the Fountain in the garden from there. (she chose it BTW)

Stands about 3' 6" tall with the pedestal.

Thank you, but just to throw a spanner in the works.. If I stop the microwaving, when I close the door, it rotates t'other way
