No ^^ have spent five hours logging, raking and taking down a holly tree, cleaning out chooks. Now everywhere hurts as we have worked like Trojans - had a hot bath and yet still I am pained.
We start again tomorrow with more clearing but it will look tonnes better and the view is better beyond measure. I wish I could be twenty years younger

Actually, I'd go for 30 years younger (but knowing what I know now!) just for the recovery factor (and no arthritis). Maybe if it's hurting today it won't hurt so much tomorrow.
I wish you hadn't mentioned cleaning out the hens - there's a pile of goat **** waiting to be moved from under I roof I can't stand up under . Thank goodness it's too dark to make me feel I should go out now.Last edited by marchogaeth; 14-01-2012, 07:22 PM."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
