It has been a miserable dreich day... steady rain on sodden ground...and going steadily darker too early because of low clouds.
I needed to go for a walk.... Sleep was elusive last night and this might help....I went on the bike on the turbo for twenty minutes instead!!
Mind you if I hadn't been commenting on a fb post at 2am I wouldn't have "met" another Rixon from Oz....

Excellent! Thanks for the pics! I love the Quimper plate.
We have one of those sharp pointy things too.
No idea what it is!
A very useful sharp pointy thing for starting holes?
Ah...a bradawl?
LOL, is that it’s technical name? ❤️ 😆

My grandfather was a carpenter. The tool you have is a gimlet, and yes, it is for drilling small holes in wood without splitting the wood.
Hi, I've been following. The tool is an old fashioned twist gimlet, yes, for stating holes. My father's hobby was woodworking, and he had several like that. Most don't have wood handles, you got a nice one.
That was my thought. So how do you prounce 'dreich'?
At first glance, I thought the sharp pointy thing was some kind of corkscrew. Not for just making holes but for opening bottles of wine.
Finding a Rixon from Oz is time well spent. A trip to Oz might well be in your future.
The Brittany plate is quite charming!
Is that pointy thing a manual screw for making holes?
Fresh bread on a cold rainy day is always welcome
Dreech...ch as is loch...
Soft not hard
Definitely not a Dibber, sorry. I'd mentally linked to the hoe and gardening.
That hoe looks sturdy and well designed - i suspect there is a hoe for every culture (or every kind of soilor weed...)
