I am death! Or at least I wield a scythe…

The results of a two day visit in my family’s summer residence (more like a cabin, but residence sounds a lot fancier, don’t you think?):
- One large cut lawn (with a scythe no less)
- One raked lawn (that cut grass ain’t gonna pile itself)
- One pre-felled large tree (the one I cut down with naught but an axe last time I was there) sawed into more managable pieces
- More managable pieces chopped into firewood
- Firewood properly piled up

The results of the results:
- Five blisters (one out of which is a gaping wound, small, but nonetheless) (my poor computerised hands couldn’t deal with the scythe very well)
- Muscle soreness in left hamstring, roughly the whole area around the spine, arms (both upper and lower parts), and right side of abs (monotonous, one-sided scythe swinging tends to do that)
- One mosquito bite

Am I manly or what!?
