I've done my back in :cry:

Felt really stiff all over after hauling and sawing firewood yesterday, but my back gradually got more sore over the course of the evening. Barely slept and now feeling really ouchie and miserable. :sad:

Oh hell

I know how you feel at the moment.

Small world. We have friends from Ascension Island staying. Crown servants who administer St Helena and Ascension. Mentioned same to a chum and close neighbour who replies.." My great great great grandad was a soldier on St Helena guarding Napoleon." Then sent me this article about his ancestor... What are the chances?

Just when you think you have seen everything, something new comes along!

As I was walking back from the shops this morning, a hatchback car drove past, and the tailgate opened. The back was full of parcels in boxes and grey plastic bags. I imagine it was a My Hermes driver, or some similar courier/postage company.
About six parcels fell out into the middle of the road, and fortunately the car behind stopped without running them over. But the courier car just drove on, seemingly oblivious to the back of his/her car being wide open....
A passer by on the other side of the road stacked the items outside a shop front, in the hope that the driver will come looking for them, which he/she hadn't done by the time I walked away from the scene.
If you are in East Kent and were expecting a parcel to be delivered today, and it hasn't turned up, I might at least know where it was at about 12.15 today.....

I got a reminder today...i DO NOT like heights.

Assisting a contractor, I found myself operating a scissor lift at roughly 14 metres up xx(, that's like standing on the roof of a house....thats stood on the roof of another house. :sad: You can feel the sway....makes my legs go wobbly, I (expletive deleted) hate it. :cry:

It got better as we moved on....but it's not an aspect of my job I enjoy
