Mast…

Beech mast, that is. Now that I’ve used the word, I have Googled it and realised I’m using the word incorrectly. Mast is the word that describes beech nuts lying under a tree of that name. The dogs love them and chew and crack the nuts as their breakfast muesli on their early morning walk. They then poo, not immediately you understand, and the tummy chemicals break them down sufficiently to allow them to germinate next spring. All very interestimate (pred txt!) interesting but…

But what I was talking about is the tiny seed husks which are literally littering the place. Covering everything including the bedroom.
