Jacqui is determined to do things for herself, no matter how well-intentioned the offers of help.

Hello, it’s Jacqui from Stockport near Manchester.
It was a beautiful day yesterday, so I started in – weeding in the garden. Now, I don’t know why, but for quite a while I wasn’t interested in the garden, maybe because it was winter and the weather was grubby but yesterday I was interested, so I was cleaning, but I did pace myself and I sat down, then I did a bit, then I sat down. So I haven’t woken up with too debilitating pain, it’s ok, in my knees I can handle it.
So today I wanted to do a little container with some marigold seedlings that are in the greenhouse, so I said to my friend, “Do you mind if I use those marigold seedlings, are you going to grow some more?”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s fine.” Good, so I put the soil in and I put the marigold seedlings in and then she came with the baby watering can to water! I said, “No! This is my little activity. Don’t you water it, it’s my activity.” Oh!
Then she said to me, “Well you can do all those and pull those that are -” I said, “No, I did a lot yesterday and that’s all I’m doing today, I do not want to overdo it. This is the little activity I’m doing today.”
Well, take care, everybody,
Bye bye.
