The sun is shining, the rain has stopped, the steep part of the garden is no longer a mudslide, and the seedlings are growing. In fact the only blot on the joyful horizon is that I’ve pulled my biceps on both arms. This is probably the result of suddenly going from a job sitting and typing to a job which involves lugging large amounts of timber about the place. I’m now written off sick for three weeks while they sort themselves out again. My elbows have been mummified in pressure bandages and I’m taking some pretty hardcore anti-inflammatory drugs. I’m now banned from the garden except for light stuff like seed trays and painting. Doing things like unloading trailers full of roofing tiles and building materials is out of the question.
Ahem.

So sorry to hear of your mishap. I recently hurt my shoulder and for two weeks any movement was out of the question…so I can imagine how awful it must be to not be able to use your biceps. It feels like it’s going to last forever. Hopefully you will be back on top form soon…but take it easy!

Thanks Iain. Thankkfully it isn’t painful, most of the time, and keeping pressure where the inflamation is helps a lot. I promise I’ll be a good boy and not try and do too much.

So hopefully the trailer will unload itself. 🙂 Get well soon!

Thanks Nico…
Opening the back and driving away quickly would empty it quickly. What it would do to the tiles is another matter…
