My wife just sent me a text picture of her legs - she picked blackberries in shorts.
Her pain is worth my gain - I do love fresh blackberries!

Grief!
They are early - ours are still tiny and green. The raspberries the same.
The wild and cultivated strawberries are doing very well - those that haven't been eaten, that is...

My strawberries were fantastic but sadly all are eaten.
I'm taking a huge gamble that none of this is meant as a euphemism...

The cultivated strawberries are almost gone - there are a few left still ripening, but they are pretty much over - but the wild version are going crazy this year, the whole garden smells of strawberries! Pity they are so small, but at least they have flavour (unlike some of the supermarket ones)

I took a huge punt on global warming and planted sweetcorn (in Dublin) - you'll probably be glad to know it has not worked.
(The potatoes are doing fine though)

Our blackberries don't turn up until September, but we've already had a good batch of raspberries.
And we had a bazillion blueberries -- until the fruggin' thrushes ate the bluddy lot!

I got a pair of gooseberry bushes ten years ago - I love gooseberries - and every year it's the same thing: loads of leaves, reasonable amount of fruit, and a couple of days before it's ripe some damn Gooseberry Sawfly bursts into life and strips the whole bush down to sticks in a morning. I've had exactly two fruits from the spiky monsters!

My goosegog bush is showing a good lot of fruit for the first time, this year (it's been there for three).
Forewarned is forearmed; I'll set up gun emplacements around it.

Blackberry cobbler on a cold autumn day, awesome!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

You eat shoemakers in the colonies?
I thought you'd progressed beyond cannibalism.
I have no idea what a cobbler is in the culinary world, and I'm far, far too lazy to Google it, when I can settle for just making a pie.

I regularly picked the center of my parents raspberry and blackberry patches in the same cotton shorts and tshirts I wore the rest of the summer. I barely got scratched unlike the idiots *cough*youngersistersandtheirfriends*cough* who foolishly tried to charge forward directly into the narrow animal paths I carefully pulled open and let fall shut behind me. When they tried they generally got more scratches in a single attempt than I did in an entire summer of picking. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So me and the Mrs. are watching our Netflix, taking a gander at the next episode of Twilight Zone from 60's "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up[^]". Pretty funny. Episode has the guy that played the doc in the Menagerie [pilot for Star Trek 67] as one of the aliens. Now of the aliens in the show, one had a 3rd arm, and the other 3rd eye on his for head, but they blend in, and speak English, no communicable diseases and do fairly well at blending in even though they have world colonization in their heart.

Well extra arm, extra eye sounds like the locals around here (Bristol UK, close to Sommerset land of the prehensile tail!) Sadly English is not local language (it is appears to be Hipster!)

Isn't it annoying how stupid computer languages are? The meaning of what you're trying to do is perfectly clear, but no, the computer can't figure that out.
