Hockey and Greenhouse

Played hockey on Saturday for the 2's. My knee didn't give me too much trouble - but about half way through the second half my back became really painful - which was really annoying as I was feeling pretty fit still - in fact to the end I was still managing plenty of running between the two d's. We also won 6-3 which was good.

I often get back pain when I am dehydrated, so I did a quick search this morning - and arthritis popped up everywhere on the search results. D'oh. Looks like another manifestation of my arthritis then - have to make sure I drink masses before a game in future to avoid the problem - apparently there is a water cushion between the discs in the spine - and no water means back problems for me with the arthritis. Still very painful today - Tuesday. My knee is also painful - which takes my mind off my back lol. Maybe I shouldn't play hockey again this weekend.

Decided to try and waterproof the greenhouse on Sunday - it was a beautiful sunny day so made the most of it. We put a load of concrete around the base to try and stop water running in when it rains and causing the blight which has affected my tomatoes so badly for the last two years. Just have to clean it with some special stuff I bought this weekend and it is ready for use. I already have a few onions on the go in the garage - and one pea!! I've already bought some potting soil so will be doing some early cucumbers and tomatoes I think this weekend...
