He has done it again!

Maffi is thoroughly enjoying his work up at the Quarry, it has not only given him direction but a sense of achievement; both of which he was needing. He has transformed the place since he has been there, and the powers that be seem to be impressed with his rate of work, diligence and work ethic. I have been popping up for cups of tea to see progress and Maffi has transformed it from a desolate place to a pleasant place with all the work he has been doing.

Yesterday I went up to have a look at some new steps that Dean Guy had installed for him. Most swanky! I had just arrived home when the phone rang 'can you come back' so I did... to follow a trail of blood to the poor wounded soldier sitting in a chair clutching some cloth to his head. It would appear he walked into a window cover that was swinging in the breeze - he didn't bang his head per se, but the metal corner cut straight through his scalp. Thankfully the rusty metal had been painted only the week before! Maffi was feeling very sorry for himself (quite rightly!), and I decided he needed a trip to see the nurse. He winced and whined and made interesting noises whenever I tried to have a look at his head, but as soon as the cuddly nice nurse started to look at his head he completely "manned up". Until she started producing needles for the injections of course!!!

So, the soldier didn't need stitches as it was a small cut, albeit deep, and we have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected.

Needless to say he is back at work today with strict instructions to wear a hat to protect the already scabbed over cut. Maffi does heal quickly!
