Summary

Chapter 8: Ozymandius. The sun is coming up behind cloud cover at about 7.40am on 8th January 2019 and the secret stone clearer of Hertfordshire reluctantly leaves his feckless family behind for a more important calling. It's a technical podcast this week, not for beginners, which will give you guidance on how to choose the stone you clear from the confusing multitude. But it also considers why the stone clearers of old have left so little evidence of their work and how working at this job for so long changes your perspective on what must be done. Plus a thrilling incident involving violent dogs, and more of the chess game that is trying to avoid as many dog walkers as possible. Read more about stone clearing at http://www.richardherring.com/warmingup and see a portion of the field in the video intro to RHLSTP with the Fingers on Buzzers podcast (up on 9th Jan): https://www.youtube.com/user/Herring1967

1:21.7

But that's the stone clear as lot. So here we go. It's the 8th of January. It's early. It's like maybe quarter to 8 going about early. Today you've got a few appointments. Not as early as I'd like actually.

1:33.3

Today's going to be quite technical. It's, yeah, the conditions are, I mean it's actually still a little bit dark, which is exciting.

1:42.3

Conditions are okay. It seems like it might be a little damp
