Spring

Finally it's starting to look like Spring around here! We played outside after work yesterday in the mud and slush, it was great. Kids got filthy but hey, I have a washing machine, it's all good.

I was trimming some of the dead wood from my rosebushes while we were out there and one of those strange things that could only happen to me happened: I lost my balance and put my hand down to steady myself - right onto a piece of dead wood I'm trimmed off. A thorn, nice and sharp and about a centimetre long plunged right into the inside of the second joint of my index finger (right where there's no padding). Bah, hurts like a bugger but no big wound or anything to show for the pain, just a tiny red dot. Funny how the smallest booboos hurt the most.
