How did I do that?

I started filling some more bags to take to the tip this morning but came to a grinding halt. I had spasmed my back. The tablets are just beginning to take effect so I can type this. Earlier I was a whimpering wreck trying to get to the toilet! I wouldn't mind if I had done something definite to cause the pain but I didn't. I was just using the secateurs to reduce the clematis. Barbara has been out this lunchtime and has come back raring to go. It goes against the grain but I doubt she'll be deterred.
I had done much worse over the weekend. On Friday, the Hull Braves Guild commenced and we were helping people in and out of cars and buses and into chairs, wheelchairs etc. Not a twinge. Then PARK came across and there was lifting children, mostly Kirsten, without any ill effects. I must have turned wrongly or something. I suppose it's our bodies telling us that they aren't as young as they were.
PARK visited so that Phil and Amanda could visit the Caravan show at the Lawns over the weekend. They wanted a good look round so we took R&K to the Kite Show at Beverley Racecourse. Sod's Law, there wasn't enough wind to get the kites aloft. The rest of the stuff was a bit tatty really. Maybe I am being super critical. Fortunately, we hadn't taken that much money as the children would have cleared us out no matter what the total. We'd planned a bit of a play on the Westwood, then a picnic and then the show but went to the show first instead and had the picnic there then a play on the Westwood. We got home just before P&A.
Lisa and Alan came round for dinner both Saturday and Sunday. They arrived just as I was in the throes on Saturday with their new car. We knew that one was on the way but didn't realise it was quite so close! I didn't really get a chance for a look round either evening as I was getting ready to serve up. Will sneak a look round some time later.
Rowan was in the wars. He'd got a pair of faulty shoes and had a broken blister on his heel as a result. He'd also got a nice scab on his knee from a fall. Over the weekend, he managed to take the scab off both wounds a couple of times and get a knock on his elbow. Didn't want anyone near them for a look tho'.
Kirsten was her usual self. Bossy britches crossed with tantrum queen crossed with sweet little girl. The mind boggles how she will develop over the next few years. She started full time school last Friday. A clever move on the schools part as they got a two day break before they start again Monday. We haven't spoken yet this week to see how the school is coping with Kirsten full time!
Barbara and I went for a walk up to the Doctors to get a form to fill in about the vaccinations we required for next years holiday. We came back via Margaret and Ro's house. Barbara wanted to issue an invitation for them to come here if necessary while their house is being repaired after the floods. Thank goodness we escaped. Their stories and other folks who have been flooded make for very disturbing listening. The insurance companies have been overwhelmed and farmed the task of dealing with the claims out to other companies who are definitely dragging their heels. Their work starts today but will probably carry on intermittently until the end of the year. Meanwhile the whole ground floor is a no go area. They can't get anyone to make a decision about a caravan when they are surrounded by them. I would be tearing my hair out - if I could reach!!
