I went on a hedge laying course today. I learned to use a billhook (but I didn't injure myself), I learned about sap directions, cleared brambles, practiced splitting trunks and helped lay a decent section of hedge.
I'm hoping to put these skills to good use over the next couple of months and to continue to not injure myself.
Split, the largest city of Dalmatia, was (just like neighbouring Trogir) as the Greek colony in the 4th century BC. Roman emperor Diocletian had a palace built as a retirement residence near Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia at that time.
After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries, but when Salona was sacked by Avars and Slavs in the 7th century, the walled Palace of Diocletian was settled by refugees from Salona.
Since then the palace has been occupied, with residents making their homes and businesses within the palace basement and directly in its walls. Today the remains of the palace form about half the old town and city center of Split.
Since 1979 the historic center of Split is included into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Over centuries Split was under either Venetian or Ottoman influence. The Congress of Vienna allocated the city to the Empire of Austria. During the 19th century a lot of investments were done and elegant buildings were erected inside the old town.

Split is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and is spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is linked to the Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
In the distance (right of centre) can be seen the bell tower of the Cathedral of St Domnius. The Cathedral is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date. The structure itself, built in AD 305 as the Mausoleum of Diocletian, is the second oldest structure used by any Christian Cathedral.
The Riva, Split's seafront promenade, runs the length of the old town and is lined with cafes, bars, shops and Palm trees.

I draw the line on the wrong side, after I did this check I noted my mistake, you can see the old and new lines. The tab can help you to hold the screen and manipulate it but is not absolutly necesary, in this case, because I wanted the slanted split prism there was not enough space for the tab.
