Hubby and I levered out a great big shrub to replant elsewhere, I had

were in the way,
he rushed over, quickly took my trainer and sock off, and the tine
had skimmed my big toe, a centimetre to the right and I'd be in
casualty, cor, it didn't half hurt. Which now reminds me, when was my
last tetanus injection???

I can see it now: 'Local gardener's rampage of violence'


NT

It was a rampage of violence as I hopped around the garden !



Lightheartedly,

From personal experience, because I am a sometimes clumsy lump, I think it
is wise to garden cross dressing between a cricketer(box) a footballer(shin
pads) a miner(hard hat) a builder (steel toe caps) a skier(glasses(eddie
the eagle)) a surgeon(gloves) a rugby player(shoulder pads) a BMX rider(arm
and knee pads) tennis(net to keep wasps away) a Hannibal Lecter mask to
scare the neighbours.
Failing that just keep your eyes skinned for dangers. I have had a few
knocks myself and seen others do the most basic errors.

Hope your big toe is getting better.
