.......that i finally worked out what I did to hurt my knee.
When working on the hen house I needed a box of screws which were on a table on our low balcony. So I went to fetch them and they were just out of reach as the balcony is 1 metre off the ground, so, instead of walking to the end of it, getting onto it via the steps, I rather awkwardly, as the table was in the way, levered myself onto the balcony by putting my right foot on the edge of the balcony to push myself up for a second, the time it took to snatch up the box, the right leg being more or less horizontal.
This has done no end of no good to the inside of my right knee.
And stupidly I remembered I had once done nearly the exact same thing back in1979, and then I needed crutches to get about for about 3-4 weeks.
And sh!t does it hurt when I stand up or try to walk. What a tw@t I am.
At least I can still drive.
Sleep well folks!!
