The Village

Today it was ridiculously warn - between 7 and 8° C - the warmest it’s been this early in the year since records began sometime in the 1800’s.
I ventured out on the icy roads to pick up the post and take this picture of one of our neighbours’ house and their horses.
I arrived home from my Italian skiing trip on Sunday feeling rather fit and bouncy. Noticing rather a lot of snow on the roof I thought I’d better shift it, which I mostly did. However, as I did so my back started to twinge and by the time I came down the ladder it was not feeling good.  I soon realised I had a slipped disc and the pain rapidly got worse.  What a way to return home.
Now, two days later, after a lot of exercises and some fairly strong pain killers I am feeling much better.  I’ve had this problem for years so I know how to handle it and it doesn’t come so often these days, thank goodness.
Maybe I’ll even get to work tomorrow.
