They say Friday the 13th is bad...

...but yesterday, Thursday the 12th, was way worse.

There was a lot of thunder.

The sky looked super dark.

And, worst of all...

Whilst I was out, working on the land,
the brambles aimed for my head twice.

Not to injure me though.
They prefer to scratch my hands, arms and legs.

No sir/ma'am, they went straight for my head, twice, in mere minutes.

To take my cap off!

I think I could hear them laugh out loud, the 'rovi'.

Possibly because the state of my hair

Not for long though...

When they tried it a third time, I managed to grab hold of my cap and just about managed to keep it planted firmly on my head.

And then I had reached my limit. I had had enough.
I got out my big loppers/hedge cutter and snapped the bramble branch right off.

Who's laughing now?

As if the humilation wasn't bad enough, my family had no empathy for me.

When I shared the photo off my cap hanging in the brambles and had told them what happened ( adding that it happened twice in a row ), my brother and twinsister put up a 😂 , my mother who never uses emojis replied with "!!" and last but definitely not least my younger sister called me an "ass".

So rude.

She talked about a donkey though. Probably referring to donkeys not hitting their head twice against the same stone ( as the Dutch proverb goes ).

It seems like she should do a revision on her proverb. A thing like this would never happen to a donkey. Not twice in a row. They also don't wear caps, usually.

Silly sister.

How was your (yester)day? Do you like brambles? And do you believe that Friday the 13th is (a) cursed (day)?
