My Flaunt it Friday this week is a small achievement but one I’d been putting off. Each year, as Spring arrives, I think about the vegetables I might grow in the garden. We now have 2 large raised beds for this purpose, our garden being small. This year, though, we’d made the decision to completely empty the beds. One was bulging underneath, the other we wanted to move to a different place. The reason I’d been holding back is that my right hand and wrist have been very painful; rheumatoid arthritis has taken its toll. I don’t like to give up though so, on a day I felt okay-ish, I put on my wrist support, took some painkillers and we got to it.
Sometimes, the small things give the greatest satisfaction. Now I can get planting, which is much easier.
What have you achieved this week, however big or small? I’d love to hear from you.

It’s so nice to have some decent weather to enable us to get out into the garden isn’t it. I love spring, when the garden wakes up. We have quite a big garden and it’s hard work keeping on top of all the weeding and everything else. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, in both hands, and It definitely is a struggle some days. This week we have had all our band equipment PAT tested, as we do annually, and it’s quite a task. We had 57 items tested, basically anything with a plug, so I’m pleased to have achieved that and have a new safety certificate. 😊
