  • I think I'm broken

    Does anyone else feel broken after a weekend of hard graft?

    See my blog and you'll understand why maybe.

    I have quite bad sunburn on my back, my hands are sore from gripping hammers, spades, wire snips, etc etc. My hamstrings are as tight as drums, my back is a little sore and the heels of my feet are sore from pusking on the spade.

    Yet, I am looking forward to getting back down to the plot to start planting! I think I've gawn mad!

    I go to my normal work to have a rest from my allotment!

      Hi, I am sitting 'shoved' back in my office seat, I dare not move too much or something will hurt! Yes BROKEN is a good word for how I feel, cant wait for home time and next weekend! :-)

        I would describe it as jumped all over. Must be getting used to it as it doesn't get as bad as it used to.

          Good weekends work Hey Wayne - and hard works not easy, but you do eventually get "occupationally fit" for it and it doesn.t feel as bad. You'll recover in time for next weekend.

              Each year it takes me longer to recover from a weekend's gardening! I was just weeding the long borders yesterday and I'm as stiff as board today.

                Not to mention the insect bites and the scratches from the brambles. It's the heaving around that finishes me off, bags of compost, all that watering, still it's all worth it and I'll be up the allotment even if I have to go by ambulance.

                      Wow HeyWayne, no wonder you're suffering a bit. There's some serious work gone into that fencing. It's good to know that the job's done once and for all though isn't it. Only the slugs and pigeons to beat now!
                      Lovely plot and I enjoyed the blog!

                        Thanks Flummery - and to have come from a MOM, I'm priveleged. Thank you.
                        Indeed, I don't plan on doing teh fencing again for a while, so thought I'd get it done proper-job like!

                        Pigeons seem relatively easy in comparison (I'll eat my words I know), and slugs, well...

                        Glad you like the plot, it's got a way to go yet, but with each journey and all that.

                        I might have a night off tonight.
