Glad you had some water coming through, albeit briefly.

My shoulder pain comes and goes, it’s been there on and off for years and no test has yet found out why. I don’t think I want to tempt fate by saying it hasn’t been too bad for a while …

How do you girls get these injuries?

Thanks for the explanation Glenda, I thought it was probably something like that but I had never heard of it before.

OH, Satima, poor you - ouch. Mine is better after 2 days.

When I ripped my hip muscles it took 3-4 months of rest and I thought that was bad enough.

Jo, sand-mining is strip mining, often of river banks or river flood plains to get the sand for cement making etc.

What, exactly, is sand mining anyway?

Ditto about your shoulder, yours too Satima, 2 years isn't much fun is it?

There’s no end to human greed and human stupidity, is there?

I hope you’re enjoying Joe Abercrombie. I think his trilogy is the best I’ve read this year. I also hope your shoulder’s better. It must be an epidemic as I’ve been having x-rays and ultrasound for a sore shoulder, too. Turns out it’s a damaged supraspinatus tendon and it will probably take a couple of years to get better! I hope yours is more immediately fixable.
