Bloody gardening

[bevvick1964]

Spent 2 days gardening and God am I paying for it now. 🤔🤔🤔must be mental !!!!!

If it is any consolation I am in the same boat. I love gardening but my body reacts afterwards when it is too late, so am also paying the price for only doing a bit of weeding.

It isn't the gardening folks that is the problem, is it? One has to weigh up what to do or not to do and enjoy it if you can.

I like being outdoors, feeling the sun on my back, smelling the grass and plants... lots of positive benefits. I can even go over in my mind the day (when I am resting), and re enjoy parts again, and also have some sense of satisfaction of doing something.

I hope that today the discomfort and fatigue are gone for both of you.

Not meaning to be course but MY BUM HURTS LOL 😂 but it looks nice. The garden, I mean not my bum. That's covered in bruises. Thought for the day 🤔🤔

Ha ha ha ha..... love it Bev. Xx

Yeah, I even do the gardening lying down as it seems to divert energy from the legs to the arms in order to make them work! I am going to be moving house to one without a garden alas, as I can see that I won't be able to cope and haven't the necessary power. I could pay for gardener.... but that isn't as much fun!... unless he has a good body! Hold that thought, as my friend used to say. Cheers!!!!

I will definitely hold that thought.

Oh joy, jet washing the patio today, I think my bum is a good enough excuse to sit in the sun with a book and watch my hubby do all the work. Not the hunk he used to be but if you squint your eyes he could be a Sam Elliott and that'll have to do 😂😂😂

Have a good pain free day xx

Wow sounds like you over did it but continue to do those things you enjoy just put a time limit on it lol staying active is always a great benefit for our body

Being active, within reason, is the key, I think! I know if I over-due one day, I'm positively spent the next and so on! Trying to find a good balance (when you don't physically have much balance...,ha!) is difficult for me! But I'm determined, so I'll keep trying. My best top all...,;o)

Jet washing is the bomb

I love it. It nearly knocked me off my feet but wow. Patio looks amazing. Don't stand still in the garden or you'll be next 😎😎😎
