Mending Fences
Last night I replaced a fence rail, that some horses had virtually chewed through.
It was very satisfying to do something practical. I perhaps found it difficult to saw through the new rail, but banging 150 mm. nails in was actually easy. Even holding the nail in the left hand wasn’t difficult.
I shall do a second one today and then post a picture.
Oddly, I found walking with my 50-year-old claw hammer as a balance in my left hand. It was much easier than using a dumb-bell. Usually, the dumb-bell slips out of my hand at least twice on a walk, but the hammer didn’t! Speaking to a physio today, he felt it was because the hammer was thinner and easier to grip, but also, the dropping was probably due to tiredness.

That’s good, a bit of progress every day!

I actually find that doing everyday tasks helps.
