One in the eye!

Off this full week, bliss. So today the hub and I took to and chopped the hedge - we both love using the hedge trimmer, sad actually, but its powerful stuff :). Things were fizzing along nicely until a bit of twig hit me squarely in the eye, big ouch and many watery-eyed tears. Still feel as if there is something in it and Optrex is my newest friend. Hub had full use of trimmer thereafter.

Yesterday, however, was a goodie. As usual, lost my way getting to Julies house, its a given, I have absolutely NO sense of direction. Hence we met in 'Dee. Never having been to Mountstewart and also having seen many images of the place courtesy of Julies Flickrstream (Shutterbug), suggestion was to FOLLOW Jules there. Its so damn beautiful and we didn't spend time enough there, shall be back. HORROR!! At the point of setting up a pic through my 'crystal ball', said ball rolled off the plinth and trundled off and into the lake! OK, you would think with 3 other toggers there might be a pic of the shock on my face, but no. Titters all round as I rolled up the sleeves and went in up to the elbows for a rescue. Returned it safe and with no injuries to its little satin box to be shot through another day.
