If it’s not one thing...

.....yes you can guess the rest.

So yesterday I was a bit bored, a nice break in the weather and I thought I’ll wash the roof, bad decision, I had one bag of coal up there which needed to come inside so I very carefully did that, I then proceeded to wash the roof ok but in putting the gang plank back on the roof I think I twisted awkwardly, it doesn’t take much, and I felt the twinge that tells me I may have a problem with my back looming again. During the evening and overnight the little twinges of pain continued.

This morning I got the call from the chandler to say the parts were in, so I slowly walked over and got them, total cost for all the necessary about £125, it took me about 4 hours to do what should have been done in about half the time, but the new waste pump  is in and working.

I now know I have to rest up a bit, my first job when I move on is to stock up with smokeless fuel and also a bottle of gas, also I have a flight of 11 locks not far ahead, neither of those things can be attempted while I am suffering back pain, so it’s sit it out for a while, or rather lay it out.

Hopefully it’ll recover fairly quickly. Happy days, at least the sun is shining!
