You will have to use your imagination to see the picture.....

I was digging up a huge grass plant...round and round with the spade then testing to see if it's free yet......
I was standing astride the slightly angled spade......lifted the plant and it came free......the spade was now lying flat...my feet still astride the shaft....

I dropped the plant with force to knock off soil but I couldn't see that it was going to land on the blade of the spade....heavily......

The spade flipped upright ....faster than any spade has ever travelled and the handle whacked me on the bottom.......lord did it sting.....

But, having no idea what had hit me......friend, foe or intruder.....I screamed......

Then had to explain to my both sides neighbours that my spade slapped my bum......

They smiled and nodded in that puzzled...shall we just back off.....way..... :-)

Arnica and wine time I think..x

Good Morning Early Birds!

What amazes me is that your neighbours are surprised by anything that happens in your house or garden.

Surely they know what you're like by now, don't they?

It could only happen to you! I'm half asleep - spent day with daughter and 12-yr-old granddaughter shopping in Harrogate whilst the OHs fought to change the brakes on a Lotus whatever... Ever been with a12 yr. old in Boot's whilst she tried to decide on a shade of Foundation for special occasions and to cover the acne? It is not a doddle, believe me.
More seriously - I was recommended to take homeopathic arnica before, during and after hip replacements - and I have to say that I had very minimal bruising. Wine, in copious amounts, also helps. :)
