Early this morning GP Practice Nurse Jill Jefferies changed the dressing on my injured hand. This involved cleaning the wound, cutting away another flap of dead skin, padding and bandaging the affected limb.
This means that any pressure applied by the palm or the fingers hurts a bit. Today I decided to rest the hand, meaning little use of computer keyboard, or the camera shutter; much more of Jane Eyre was therefore read.
Martin, meanwhile was active as ever in the garden, among other things weeding a good stretch of the Brick Path.
Here is the finished section followed by the rest demanding his attention.
This evening we enjoyed our second helpings of last night’s curry with which I drank more of the Sangiovese.
Martin rocks! Hope you damaged limb is progressing well. Dinner sounds wonderful.
Thanks very much, Pat
What a difference
Thanks a lot, Gary
Here’s hoping your hand recovers soon.
And always good to see that Martin continues to do a great job for the Knight household!
Thank you very much, GP
I hope your hand recovers soon, Derrick, you could use a weed whip to clear the weeds from the brick very quickly, or spray them with a grass/weed killer. Yay for Martin!
Thanks a lot, John
Your injury sounds painful. Get well soon.
Thank you very much, Robbie
I must have missed the post where you mentioned hurting your hand. I hope it heals quickly. You are so lucky to have a Martin!
Thank you very much, Dale. I tripped, fell, and took a great chunch of skin off the back of it nine days ago
Ouch! You really didn’t miss, did you? Keep on healing.
Martin did a splendid job with the Brick Path! A good decision to rest your injured hand today.
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Praying for a quick healing of the hand.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
I’ve been doing nothing but weeding between bricks this month! Hope your hand feels better soon 🙂
Thank you very much, Barbara

Whoops … a bit slower …

Good to hear the hand is getting better, Derrick. Take good care of it.

You are welcome, Derrick. 🙂
Resting your hand while reading Jane Eyre sounds like a perfect win-win to me! <3
Thank you very much, Donna
I’m glad you are resting your hand and hope it heals well. The path is wonderful!

Martin is doing a wonderful job on keeping the garden in check.
You’re doing the right thing in resting your hand and giving the skin chance to heal. 🙂
Thanks very much, Sue
I will be weeding tomorrow (no need to rush). My trusty flamethrower will have its first outing of the year. The result isn’t pretty for the first week (ll those wilted plants) but eventually it comes good. Good luck with the hand. These things, as people will keep telling you, take time.
Thank you very much, Quercus

Martin did a great job with the weeding! I hope your hand heals soon.
(I read weeding as wedding when I first saw the title. 🙂 )
Thank you so much, Merril 🙂
Martin did a wonderful job with the brick path, and I hope your hand heals soon, Derrick.
