I accidentally bent my thumb in a direction that thumbs don't bend and now it doesn't want to bend at all. I need to start looking after that thumb a bit better. When I was checking it over I noticed it's got a few too many scars and that tattoo I accidentally gave myself five years ago still isn't showing any signs of going away.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
When I was young my thumbs were double jointed and bent all over the place. They definitely are not as flexible now and really resent going the wrong way. Give yours a rest and treasure it @wild edges. I don't know where that expression about being "all thumbs" comes from but I'm definiitely clumsier when one of mine is out of commission.

Thunderbolts and lightening very very frightening promised. At best we've had heavy drizzle so far. Me (I?) and the grass have been enjoying it but everything else is just being teased. I held off planting out stuff until after the rain. Silly me! Expect to be disappointed and you will never be disappointed.
The car started making an odd knocking noise from the front suspension. It turns out a spring has snapped. I think this is the 4th or 5th snapped spring I've had to replace now. The MOT guy I use says he's seeing loads of them now and blames the bad roads and the extreme weather temperatures but I suspect it's just substandard metal being used these days. They're about the age and mileage to start giving out so I've ordered new shocks and springs to do the whole lot. Annoyingly I had plans for Saturday and I've had to bin those to get this sorted Considering I do so little mileage these days I seem to be spending an awful lot of money to keep the cars going.
