Weeder's bum, and other bank holiday ills

[MrsBertBibby]

Which bits of you are now FUBAR?

My right forearm aches from overenthusiastic weed twisting, and my butt cheeks are ON FIRE from the crouching and digging

Oh I remember the time I could spend 8 hours working in the garden come in shower and feel fine. Not so much now and the heavy jobs have to be done in short bursts. My grade is begging for a cut but after spending yesterday spreading mulch my aging back is protesting.

Grade = grass

Weeders bum?

I have a very sore knee from kneeling. I'm only in my 30s but bugger me weeding does me in now. I've let it go too much so now 5x the amount

I could barely lift a cup of tea at Easter following badminton in the garden and some serious pruning with a pruning saw and shears

I've twisted my ankle walking round a stately home garden.

@washinglions 🤣. I'd lie and say you took a tumble doing some random extreme sports.

@userxx Is this better?

Oh yes, yes, of course what happened was this - after climbing up there to retrieve my lost boomerang, I was abseiling down this monkey puzzle tree you see, and lost my footing...

Fortunately for me, my fall was broken when I landed on a life-size fibreglass model of a tyrannosaurus rex, and I was able to swing down to the ground by using one of its short arms.

I turned to go back onto the path, and tripped over a 'Keep Off The Grass' sign and twisted my ankle.

Should I sue?

@washinglions Yes that's much better. I'd go definitely go with that one. Much more interesting and no I wouldn't sue.

My hands are scratched to buggery after my take-no-prisoners approach to an overgrown border. Look like I've been mauled by a tiger.

My back is twingey after planting a few things in the veg garden this afternoon.

So I've called it a day.

I know my limits.

My right shoulder is sore from digging and fence painting, and my hamstrings are putting in some serious complaints as well!
