It had to happen

It's been in threatening for a few days now but today while bending over planting out my red onions I did my back in and I'm in agony. I've been suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis for several years now and frequently suffer from back pain. It normally lasts a few weeks so I'll be taking it easy for a while. So I'm hobbling around today with a heat pad wrapped around my back that's making me look like I'm wearing a nappy.

Of course Julia's laughing at me bent double like an old man, unable to put my socks on.

Oh and here's a quick joke (I have to cheer myself up somehow). What's orange and sounds like a Parrot? A Carrot of course!
