I hate the process of selling stuff, but have finally grasped the nettle. Photos taken of my old bike so I can list it on TradeMe.

@Miraz I hear you. I’ve got an e-bike I haven’t ridden in two years because my balance has become so lousy. But I’ve still got it.

This Spring for sure, to make room for an e-trike.

@ReaderJohn That’s a shame about your balance. A trike sounds just the ticket. I’ve listed the old bike. Now to hope for someone to buy it (and without asking a thousand stupid questions — eg, you said ‘must collect’, will you ship it?).

@JohnBrady I learned “grasp the nettle” by tactile demonstration. I don’t know that the teacher was aware that our brushing the nettle injected toxins, but I guess toxins is why it irritated.

@JohnBrady I had forgotten that. The toxins must be volatiles.

@JohnBrady Glad you like it. I think it came to mind for me because yesterday I pulled out 2 small nettles from the garden. 😆
