    Wow Kerri - you sound as though you were lucky. I always let someone else deal with the power tools - safer that way for me. I'm old fashioned and like the hand tools - also means I don't have to do any of the "big" jobs in the garden.

    Thanks all for your kind wishes, yes I was very lucky. Bandage off today and finger redressed, still needed steri strips and I think it's going to be longer than I thought until I'm back at pole but at least my digit is still there to heal. OH, finished the job I was doing today....and fell off the ladder, thankfully a combination of judo training and a now slightly mis shaped bush meant he is fine. I said, any more injuries when we're trimming the plant and tics coming down, pretty as it is.
