Consequences

Paying the piper today 

I was hoping to go out again and do a little more 

But my body has said a firm no! 

Hopefully a days rest will allow me to go out again tomorrow 

Roses

Back in the old days. I could prune, weed and mulch the rose garden in one day 

Sadly those days are long gone 

Even in the recent years I could prune and weed in the one day 

But not any more

Today I did this much 

Four rose bushes and half of one. 

Pulled weeds but only those big ones that come out easily 

Even though it doesn’t look like much. Which was disappointing. I remembered that it was four wheelbarrow loads. 

You can see a nice little pile of the prunings and weeds 



Wonderson came over for lunch and I stopped to have some with him 

That was my mistake. Once I’d stopped and cooled down. I just couldn’t get going again. 

That’s why I only got through half a rose bush 

I’ve had a long soak in. Hot bath 

Will take some pain meds 

And recover enough to hopefully go out again tomorrow and do a bit more 

I mourn the old me. 

I guess I’ll just have to be happy I can do any work out there at all
