Wind!

(Not me!) I'm about fed up of the past 6 months of alleged 'gentle breeze'. I had to stake a plant yesterday, and even the stake was leaning, so I moved it, broke the stake, fell on the sleeper and took 5 layers off my shin. 🙁

    Ouch! Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

    Thank you 😊
    My shins are covered in scars, lol, I'm a Tomboy who never grew up, so it's par for the course. 😄

    Yes, this “gentle breeze” is boring me silly. The sort of wind that twizzles your wig.

    And there’s a village near Sheffield called Wigtwizzle, which shows that it’s nothing new.
    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.
    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    Don't you think that legs have a design fault? All the protective muscle and fat is at the back. How often do you scrape or bump into things with the back of your legs?
    Good point. I'm going to wear cricket pads just to deadhead flowers from now on. 😄

    Ciao @BenCotto   Put a bar of soap in the bed at the feet end.   Good for cramp too!
    Tissues up the nose!!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Someone from there bought our last house near Ashbourne pansyface and I can't stand my wig twizzling either. Just apropos of nothing you understand.
