I've been lifting, pushing and pulling things in my job for over 40 years.
Two days before I'm due to go on a 1500km drive to visit my Brother and do the Whale thing in Hervey Bay I strain something in my back making a bloody table for The Dragon Lady's sewing machine.
After gobbling pain killers for a few days I now find that rain is predicted for tomorrow when I'm supposed to see the Whales!
