Except I wasn't running.
… I suppose I had an arm-in with nettles.
I'm itchy.

But I didn't trim the nettles. They lightly stung me 2× today. Soap and water was enough to get rid of the irritation.

Next to the periwinkle, I managed to get some #oregano established (which ticks hate), and that provide more flowers for my bee friends. There are a few #nettles and #dandelions scattered about.

From MS Ashmole 48.
A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.
