Thistle

I think this plant is part of the thistle family. It is an interesting shape and I see quite a few of them in uncultivated areas. I had a headache after yesterday‘s exercise which I put down to dehydration. I dosed myself up with tablets to play tennis in the morning and the afternoon as I did not want to let down the people who had invited me to make up doubles partnerships. I was not at my best but we still had some good games. If I have the same symptoms tomorrow, I may take a Covid test
I came back to listen to the cricket and caught up with my son who has just come back from holiday. Apparently, Manchester University has been hit by a major ransomware attack which is making his job extremely difficult.
