Little Stalky Shovels the Stone

With Mystical Roo suffering from what we think may be a cracked rib, yesterday I was persuaded to lend a hand in the warehouse.  There was no resin milking this time but there was much shovelling of stone.  The task?  Fill a bucket - a big bucket by the way - with stone, pour the stone into a bag and then move the bag out of the way.  I imagine this is a simple task for Mystical Roo but I am neither fit nor strong and the shovelling of stone and subsequent carrying of bags (weighing about 16kg) was a lot of hard work for me.  There was sweat and everything.  And dust!  I was a dusty Stalky.  And today I'm an achy Stalky.  My muscles are protesting.  I suppose that's one way to get some exercise in the day.  Go shovel some stone!

  1. Take care. Last time I shovelled stone I ended up in hospital! I'll just stick to building sand castles.
