Pruned to within an inch...

But always amazed how they bounce back! This time next year it will look as if it's never been pruned.

Feeling like death warmed over today. J and I struck down by mystery stomach thing yesterday, up till gone four this morning and when I tried to get J up from the bathroom floor (she felt sick and wanted to lie down...) there was a horrible noise from my shoulder and pain like you wouldn't believe. Think I may have pulled some ligaments off the bone.

Oh well, Doc's at the crack of dawn tomorrow and then off to J's Dad's funeral.
Life just doesn't get better than this!
