I'd just picked up the table and was putting it into my car when I got a call from Mr L who said that he'd come off of his bike and could I come and take him to the hospital for an x-ray. "I think I've sprained it" he says. I drove home and took one look at it and absolutely knew that he'd broken it, it was pretty horrible and so off we go to A&E where we spent the next 8 hours with him being x-rayed and pushed around the hospital. We eventually ended up in resuscitation where they needed to manipulate his broken wrist before getting it into a cast to help reduce the pain. They said he will have to have an operation and the wrist specialist said it's pulverised. They kept him in overnight and the next day (Biggest L's birthday) they wanted to do a CT test. They kept him in all day and didn't do the CT, he had to go back on Friday for the CT and they didn't do the operation, he has to go back on Monday for the operation.
The main point is that Mr L will be ok, he will have his operation and he'll be fine - he'll not be able to bend his wrist properly and he'll definitely not be riding his bike any time soon.
So, it's now late on Wednesday night and I haven't been to my plot at all; I haven't checked if my netting stopped the squirrel, for all I know it's completely shredded. I haven't watered anything on my plot, all of my tomatoes might be dead and dried out. I haven't finished the bark chippings,
Tomorrow is Thursday, it's the penultimate working day of my week off and tomorrow I will go to the plot. GP Gills opens at 9.30am and I will be going to get my chippings. I will have to do it on my own because Mr L can't help and the Little L's won't help so I'll go and get my own bark chippings and I'll transport them up the hill and I'll finish my paths. I'm also going to see about drilling holes through my fence posts for the wire that I'm gong to train my cherry tree onto.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the weather is good ;-)
