I was up at Hanna's again this (yesterday) morning, forking over some ground. I'm sure the rhythmic steady exertion is good for you, so long as you don't go too hard at it. I couldn't help but think of what Dave Dickson's friend 'Frosty' used to say, something about "Nothing better than sweating over a live fork." Well my fork wasn't live, it's a four pronged stainless steel variety but I did raise a sweat, and there's a good feeling of reward for effort at the end when you survey the result.
The photo shows the patch of freshly turned earth and the fork I speak of. That's 'Snowy' guarding the entrance of a wombat burrow, I think Pip is down the hole when I took the photo. The rain held off for me. Not a bad workplace. Better than being stuck in a traffic jam.
I worked on my Nigel Signpost article tonight, deadline is tomorrow. I was reasonably happy with it and will go over it again in the morning. I found it hard to condense to 800-850 words, it's still about 930 after working it down from 1150.
