My posterior feels peculiar!

I was going to write that my bum felt odd but I thought non-British readers would be confused. Nowadays I do have a job that involves sitting at home in front of the computer, but even so I don’t sit still for extended periods. Normally I sit for maybe half an hour before getting up to make a drink, then do a bit more work before getting up again to put food out for the birds, scare away the pesky squirrel, water the plants, hang up the washing, get something out of the freezer to cook later, or else I take a break to do a bit of gardening, cycle to the shop or perhaps visit a friend. So I don’t have to just sit for hours on end. Yesterday though was different. I took a day to visit a friend who has cancer. First I sat at the computer for an hour or so to attend to a couple of work things, and also to check my route. Then I got in the car and drove two and a half hours to the south coast where the friend lives. Then we sat in her lounge for an hour or so. Then I helped her to do a couple of errands before coming back and sitting chatting for another five hours (apart from a short break to help clean her kitchen). Then I got back in the car and drove home, which took three hours because of some road closures. By the time I got home my bottom was not feeling at all normal, almost numb really from all that sitting. Since then I’ve obviously had a night’s sleep, walked Little One to school and been moving around much of the morning. I've tried wriggling about, massaging the muscles, but things still don’t feel normal today. I don’t know how so many people can just spend their days sitting down, it looks as though it’s going to take me another day to recover from just one day of this! I’m going outside shortly to do some more physical work and hope that helps! By the way that's not me in the photo : ) All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2022.
