Thanks Nic. I finished the new compost bins today. Man, am I sore! I just
stood in the shower for as long as I could with hot water running on my
back.

I've been very careful with my back and, although I'll suffer more over the
next week than I otherwise would I'm pretty sure I haven't exacerbated my
injury, it should settle back to the same level of pain I usually have when
I get over this. However it's amazing how soft my hands have got. I have a
blister under a blister today. I was using a bit of wood to tamp the earth
around the 'posts' of my compost bins and I felt what I thought was a
splinter. However, when I looked it was a blister that had ripped open. (A
side effect of taking extra pain meds, I didn't feel it forming.) When I
stopped for a coffee I put some savlon on it and a plaster and then got on
with it while the meds were still working. The plaster came off fairly
quickly and, looking at it now, I see there's another fluid-filled blister
in exactly the same place.
Hmmm, the back pocket? It got hit a lot harder than I'd imagined it would
when I started. (I ended up having to buy the wheelbarrow that's in the shed
in the background of one of the pics. I can't carry stuff around very well.)
However, with luck, I'll get it all back and then some in fruit and
vegetables. I see that I have a strawberry that'll be ripe in the next 72
hours. It's mostly red now and there are quite a few not far behind. I've
had a couple lettuce sandwiches already too. :-)

Thanks. Yes, I'm hoping to not be bothered by vermin.
My GP will be *so* pleased. Not only have I been excercising I'll also be
able to eat the foods that she's been bothering me to eat for ages but I
couldn't afford.

LOL, it took me a while to work it out too when I saw the pic. It's a kikuya
runner that I threw in there.
Cheers,
