I've had a splinter in the very tip of my right hand, index finger for about 3 weeks. It's been driving me bonkers.
I also had a manicure a few weeks ago, as you may remember. They were my nails, painted. Some of you thought they were falsies.
WELL I'VE NEVER BEEN SO INSULTED IN MY LIFE
My nails generally look pretty good despite my manicure regime being a bit unusual. If I break, or split a nail as I work, I usually pick up a stone and use it as a nail file. It works very well. A green twig ig good for digging the mud out from under.
Well where am I going with this?
I now have a key for my POTTING SHED up at the Garden Plot. It needed to have a keyring to set it off: OBVIOUSELY.
BRUTONS came to the rescue. As they cut me a couple of keys ( I always need a spare, because, where keys are concerned, I'm feckless), I browsed the displays. And there it was, a
SWISS ARMY KNIFE.
Already I've used the scissors to cut the peas from the Pea Plants, the emery board and the 'orange stick' to beautify my nails on the job. It goes without saying that the knife has seen a lot of action, cutting open bags of compost and fighting demons to name but two. The tweezers, ah yes, the tweezers. Haven't actually used them yet, but I'm sure I will soon.
I LOVE MY GIRLIE GARDENING KNIFE.
