Yipppppeeeee!!!!!

I went up the hospital today sat in various queues- plaster off with circular saw while technician chatted happily and I wonder how many people get sliced. My friend told me it stops on contact with skin but how do I know that's not just an urban myth. Queue for X-ray and then was happily queuing again - for no reason it turns out coz I should have gone straight to nurse ('DIDN'T YOU READ THE SIGNS?') there were lots of signs but obviously I didn't read the important one. And they said it was fine though they pointed to fracture healing that I hadn't known was there as the last time they pointed to a different fracture. Never mind - it was my arm and the 'after' shots definately looked better than 'before' x rays. They sent me to physio and I cut to the important stuff and asked when I could dig and she reackons 8-12 weeks. I wasn't expecting that long but luckily have volunteers lined up. I usually use digging to offset PMT so I guess I will just have to shout instead or write. We have a new laptop and I am still using old delapidated one and feel unsure whether to transfer to new or keep using this rickerty one. The sensible thing would be to let go of this on. Can I do it- go on girl let go.....
I am the girl who at college sewed her shoes up to get more wear out of them coz hate wasting anything. Will post some photos soon - hellebores in garden beautiful deep pink almost plum colour. Before I can do that have to decide which laptop to download to. It's sunny here - have a lovely day.

pots,pliers and plastercasts

I have started to save up used washed yoghurt pots and packaging trays (like tomatoes come in from the supermarket) as cheap containers to sow seeds in in spring. also if you've got any old plant pots give them a good scrub to get any traces of soil off and sterilise them in the dishwasher or in a bucket of sterilising fluid. More snow here doesn't look like I'm gonna get to the allotment-argh. I was going to try and change my plastercast as it is so uncomfortable. Now do I risk getting to the hospital and getting stranded there by the snow. Harbouring fantasies of getting pliers to plaster to make more room but just know it would go horribly wrong so i am going to be a good girl and get the bus up there. Hoorah snow how changed to rain- how sad I think that's a good thing. It's a sign of the times is now going through my head now who sang that.......
