A Stiff One

Feeling: Knackered

Listening to: Love don’t let me go


In the heat of Saturday, cutting back the trees at the rear of out garden fence was not a wise task to undertake.
What’s even more stupid was moving that old cast iron lawn mower that had been dumped behind the fence. In the process of removing it , being lodged in the trees, I got stung on the nose by a wasp. Funny now, not at the time though. The trees and shrubs have big spikes, like six inch nails, so I am also covered in scratches and a few bruises from climbing about in the dense wilderness.
After a trip to the local tip to dispose of the mower and lots of other junk I returned to the job of sawing through branches and lopping. Think I had too much sun, the garden is south- west facing, had a headache and irritable on the night.
Sunday was not much better, even I did not feel like going to the gym!Trip to the shops, then gardening, sawing and lifting. My o/h is the gardener/designer I just supply the labour to move the heavier items.
Back to “work” today feeling like I have been beaten up with a baseball bat and wondering where the weekend went.
On the way to the shop on Sunday evening, about 6 o’clock, passed local wine bar. Three girl’s sitting outside, one with head slumped forwards, in the I’ve had a liitle too much and want to go to sleep style, .made me smile and sad at same time.I smiled because I know the feeling., too much alcohol makes me tired too. Sad because it reminds me we tend to drink for more than just social reasons these days.Those that don’t drink find other ways to deal with life, as Mr George Michael demonstrated. What makes us the same is we don’t get aggressive we just nod off…..preferably not at traffic light though lol.


Before I get back to work, if you are into 70’s & 80’s fashion, shoes or a positive outlook HGH2 has some relevant themes today
Take care and enjoy the day, if I have not seized up I will be back.
Any know how to massage…baby oil supplied lol.
