Put out a minor Librecast point release, then headed out to start mowing the fields.

We didn't sell the hay this year, and with all the rain it's quite overgrown.

Was going to start at the beginning of the week but the starter on the tracteur died and had to wait for a replacement which arrived yesterday.

My donkey is back.

One of the many #LongCovid symptoms I've had is loss of balance.

It's not like I fall over when I'm walking around, but when driving the tracteur on parts of our rather 3-dimensional fields it's very noticeable. There are places I just can't drive anymore.

I *know* I've driven on that bit of field before, but my brain is screaming at me that the tracteur is going to tip over. I've just had to come in for a cup of tea because I'm shaking from trying to fight it.

I would just like to take a moment to thank the enormous wasp for visiting me in the tracteur cab and hovering next to my naked clutch leg while I was on the steepest bit of the hill.

oooh scary.

I learned a little bit of tractor driving in the last couple of years and it brought up many stories from my grandfather about tractors flipping over.

@clew There's a real danger of tipping on hills. You definitely don't want to drive anything without ROPS or a cab.
