Today I made myself a bench for my greenhouse out of wood that I got out of skips and some old roofing battens from a house that was having a new roof. All it cost me was about a fiver for a pack of very long screws. I still have enough battens to do the bottom shelf. Anyway, I’m pretty pleased with it.
That was my good news. The bad news was that while I was there, a couple of pigeons shat all over my A3 when I parked under a tree - they had a nest up there. I had to wash it off quickly when I went home for my lunch before it started eating into the paintwork.
However, the bloody pigeons are the cause of an injury I now have - I might even have to go to hospital later!
When I went back over in the Golf, I avoided parking under the tree. I finished the bench and a couple of the other plot holders helped me get it into my greenhouse. I decided to call it a day and as I was leaving, I decided to have another look at the pigeons nest in the tree. As I was looking up and walking backwards, I backed into that single gravel board, fell backwards, bashed the back of my head on the bench in the polytunnel and ended up folded up in the ditch between the gravel board and the polytunnel as the ground level is a foot or two lower on the other side of the gravel board! It happened so fast I didn’t know what had happened. It didn’t half hurt, it still does and I have a terrible pain in my upper back between my shoulder blades and there’s a bit of crunching going on. I’ll see how I feel after my tea
I still have some Naproxen and Zapain tablets the doc gave me for my crunching shoulder a few weeks ago so I'll be taking those for a while and see how it pans out.
Just discovered a massive lump on my elbow. That hurts too!
