Just goes to show you, you should have been working on the LR instead of doing the washing up That's when my back hurts the most when I am standing at the sink doing the washing up, I can stand at the parts washer all day with out a problem.

spent a couple of days down in the veg patch weeding and on the barrow etc and have done my left knee, even though I was using one of those padded stool things that you can turn over . Just went while I was standing at the sink doing the washing up! Had to be helped into the recliner by the Mrs. Luckily youngest sis is Osteopath and reckons its just ligament/ soft tissue damage and will come right. On light duties for a few days.

Hope you come good soon.
Raised beds mate,they make a huge difference!!!!
When we were in Carnarvon recently a plantation we visited were growing Asian greens in raised beds,I asked were they hydroponics due to the plastic tubs.
No they weren't,they need to keep them very wet,especially in summer.They were filled with a mix of riversand and peat.
The biggest mistake I made with my beds was not sealing the bases,the neighbors gum trees and my olive trees send their roots into them bigtime

I have big issues with my back,washing dishes sets it off no end.I don't mind doing the dishes,the sink is too low so it causes the back to bend at the wrong level.Tried the knee bend,no good,I have enough issues with sciatica without doing squats.
Plus,Deb always complains that I don't wash them good enough

The last time I did the sausage sizzle at the carols by candlelight, I couldn't walk hardly for a week. I'd spent so long leaning over the barby. I need to break tasks up a bit I think from now on.

i have real trouble standing at any workbench for too long these days.

playing with cars is getting to be a chore, not the joy that it used to be for me, so i like playing in the garden and am trying to reignite my love of fishing as well...

the watermelon plant i sowed in the new garden is going nuts and is leaving the pumpkin miles behind...

looking forward to some end results heading into christmas!

Hey Inc.
If you want a special Xmas day desert pick a nice watermelon a few days before.Buy a quality Vodka,a cheap one will hurt your head.Cut a hole in the watermelon the same diameter as the neck of the bottle,insert the bottle and leave it to infuse into the melon.Even the white becomes edible.
ENJOY.

I can report that avocados, as well as being ruddy expensive in the shops, are damm noisy when they land on your bedroom's iron roof in the middle of the night. In fact, after considerable consideration during the wee hours, I would even say they are noisier than bush rats falling out of the avocado tree, where they have been dining, and landing on the same iron roof.

Noisier than mangos ? Also for those interested or keen plenty of work to be done at my place. The flat weed and bindii could be swapped for grass. Will accept lawn or other !
