Day 1311 Oh my aching joints

14th March 2021

The clocks went forward today, signalling the start of spring, or at least slightly longer days.

I started laying the planks on the yoga deck.

Having splits on my thumbs didn’t help, as I was using hidden fixings it was a painful experience. My knees also took some hard treatment, reminisce of the floor laying in the house. It took all afternoon to lay 16 strips, and at the end I felt like I had been kicked around the garden.

Just when I thought I had finished, I needed to move 36 strips from the deck that I had stacked lovingly on Friday, to the side of the house where I stacked them again.

Kelli found enough energy to cut my hair, she had got fed up with my southern preacher hairstyle.

It was during this that she mentioned that I’d caught the sun on the back of my head, so I have to go around with a baboon’s ass for a while.
