Good news / bad news

[jacey]

I saw crocuses (white and purple) growing on the grass verge down the road into Huddersfield thids afternoon (the ones up here are still in bud, but on their way). They made me smile. Spring is coming!

The bad news... the reason for the trip into Huddersfield was to take BB to A&E. He managed to trap the end of his index finger in the car door this morning. Self-inflicted, he admits, but... Big Ouchie. It's pretty well mushed up his finger-end and nail and the doc had to remove a flap of his finger tip. That's gotta hurt.

Ow! That must be painful. Fingers have so many nerve endings that any injury feels worse.

I hope it heals quickly.

Thanks. i've lost track of the number of times he's messed his hands up one way or another. Good job he's not playing the cello regularly any more. He certainly wouldn't be with this injury.

He's a walking disater area when he's working outside on the barn: Gash down to the knuckle a couple of years ago (on a joist hanger - required stitches); hammered finger-end; various gashes; another trapped finger (car door again but this time slammed by the garage mechanic, so not strictly speaking self-inflicted). I have a well stocked first aid box and a fairly strong stomach for blood.
