Cornflowers

And poppies and those things that always get misnamed here as daisies.

When it takes you 10 minutes to get up and put your trousers on, there really is a problem with your back.  Exactly what happened to me today.

Time to go to the doctor and have them tell me that there is a problem with my back.  They will then refer me to a clinic where there are no appointments for 6 months.

When you get to that appointment, a consultant (with both eyes fixed on saving money) will tell you "Ooh that's got to be pretty unpleasant".  And then we congratulate him/her on their skills as a diagnostic doctor.  Sherlock Holmes could not do better..

All of this is just a long winded way of saying "Ow" or "Aua" if you'd prefer.

Look, it was so painful that I had to cancel my donkey duty.  Never an easy thing for me.  Those donkeys are great but it's hard work with a lot of bending, not something that I can do at the moment.

We'll see how hard it is to get out of bed tomorrow. 

Oh and this is funny.
