Raked over some wood chip my OH had laid in piles in the front border - then PING - my right rib cage, hopefully nothing too drastic but it has curtailed my activities for a few days me thinks.
Ouch, that sounds painful Guernsey Donkey2 - I sympathise because I stabbed myself in the eye with a rough dry stem whilst weeding my rough bank this afternoon - another ouch! After much blinking and soothing eye drops, I carried on, now wearing glasses of course. I never learn.
Cleared away the spaghetti squash, and some, now, unproductive courgette plants. Raked over the old potato area where I rotavated earlier in the week, have sown some winter mix green manure, bit late now we have had these cool nights, but hopefully will work ok.
Thanks Hampshire hog, eye seems ok today. I've been cutting back the ivy on the wall, it's getting a bit out of hand. Then I started planting up pots of crocuses and dwarf daffs, but found some of the bulbs (kept in paper bags on top shelf of small wooden growhouse since spring) have been nibbled. There were woodlice in them but I suspect mice are perhaps getting in somehow. I planted the ok bulbs in various flower beds but must label where they are. It's been lovely sunny weather all day.
Thank you for your kind concern, I am so annoyed with myself for letting it happen - I was only raking wood chip on the flower bed but it was quite a thick layer.
Ouch Lizzie - eyes are so valuable - so I am pleased that there is no permanent damage.
I hoped that the rib ping was just a fluke, but alas no - I cannot even lift a half full watering can now, and bending down also puts pressure on the ribs too. So I have a good excuse for having a lazy week although my poor OH is wishing for rain so he won't have to do my share of the watering. At least I can still sow seeds and pot up seedlings.

Hope your both feeling better GD2 and Lizzie.
