Note to Self

Even if I am only going to the garden to snip the tops off the basil plants so they don't go to seed;

1. I do need my gumboots, a pair of thongs won't do. (That's flip flops for Americans.) 
2. I do need my walking stick.

Results of a five minute job in the garden?

1. Scraped shin (but it's hard to see where the skin's missing because it looks quite a bit like my rash, so that's all good then.)
2. A few extra bruises.
3. Some serious pain in my back and my "good" hip.  (I don't have a right hip and a left hip, I have a good hip and a bad hip.)
4. Nothing appears to be broken, so I guess it's all good.
