Saturday Weather: Is hot

Saturday Me: Let's spend ALL day working in the yard without so much as a lunch a break, lopping trees and shovelling compost and mulch and taking a massive trailer load of junk to the tip!

Sunday Weather: Is rainy and a bit muggy

Sunday Me: Even though it's raining, let's keep going cleaning up more after yesterday's activities and filling up another trailer load!!!

Today Me: You idiot. Everything hurts. I hate you.

Saturday was an "Orinoco Flow" kind of day, Sunday was an "ain't no sunshine" kinda day. Today's a "Cruel Summer" kind of day

Rest up if you can Gregsy, fingers crossed you recover quickly!

(I think I pulled a muscle on Thursday moving a box I put far too many heavy books into but was too stubborn to lighten up on and I've only just recovered)

I blame Tetris. Someone should've put a little weight tally up in the corner so everybody knows the downside of being a Tetris whiz
