Gym se Voet!

(if you don't understand the heading, ask your nearest South African - there's sure to be one close by)

I spent the whole of Tuesday working on Olivia. Mostly climbing on her and reaching up to bolts way above my head. Then a bit of wrestling with things that had rusted together, and pulling on stuck stuff. Crawling on teak roofrack boards on my hands and knees, and a slight bit of heavy lifting.

Needless to say I was stiff the next day! Even turning over in bed that night picked out all sorts of bruised bits and scrapes I hadn't seen. I'm still noticing cuts on my hands at odd times.

But there's nothing like working the muscles to get them back into use again after they've siezed up - even if your legs wobble in near collapse while you're at it (I never realized how many stairs we have!).

Tonight it was back to sorting out the last few struts that need to come off. I finally had an extra pair of hands (bribery does wonders), but they still took some doing. And this weekend will be more of the same. I'm on a roll - I'm doing as much of the "free" stuff as I can, while I can.

Who needs gym when you have a Landy!!!
