My daughter is selling her greenhouse. 6 x 6. Made by Elite. It’s dismantled as does not fit in her new garden. Looking for one no deeper than 4’ if anyone is selling.

Prevention is better than cure …. In the clinic I dole out advice on how to reduce the risk of an urgent visit to me! I thought I might sprinkle a few of these gems online … yes for free 😉.

1: Gardening …. Don’t do any one task for more than 20 minutes at a time.

For instance :-

Dig for 20 mins, clear away the w**ds for 20, load the compost or garden bin for 20. You can repeat the cycle several times.

Reasoning? Each task uses muscle groups in different ways which prevents fatigue and literally shares the load. ✅

What a sing and dance?

With all this lovely weather we have had a strong start this week with patients coming in having overdone it in the garden. It’s going to be lovely weather all week so get out there and soak up some vitamin D too. But … how to avoid that post gardening back ache? Most of it comes from holding one posture for too long and over concentrating on the physical aspect of w**ding etc. Latest research shows that if you incorporate some dance moves into your w**ding it will help with moving your posture. To avoid the over focus it can really help if you sing as you w**d. (Much nicer than wee’ing as you sing 😳). So, respect your neighbours ears but choose a belter of a tune and sing and dance your way through the dandelions.

Many of our patients loved the fact my cat, Mortimer, thought he was the clinic receptionist. He greeted so many people, sat in their cars, in the summers he joined more than a few people for their massages and treatments via the open windows and above all, every day, he seemed to sense when I was with my last patient of the day and never failed to be there on the doorstep waiting for me to finish work. Today at his grand old age and after a mercifully short decline we said goodbye. We are so sad but remembering what a wonderful life he had and what an amazing character he was.
