I came an absolute cropper on my way to work today. I ended up face down on the pavement after catching the curb with my foot. Not my finest moment! I am now nursing lots of scrapes, a very bruised knee, and a broken left ring finger (I haven't had it x-rayed as it'll just be for strapping regardless, but it's a lovely shade of purple and very painful so I'm confident in my diagnosis!)
On the one hand (the busted one!), I am very annoyed with myself as it's going to limit what I can do in the house and garden for the next few weeks. On the other hand (the scraped one), I am very lucky to have got off so lightly as if I'd gone a couple of inches to the left I would have cracked my head on the corner of a metal railing, and a few inches to the right and my head would have been straight in front of a car.
After all that, I thought I might as well have my booster jab as it couldn't make me feel much rougher. So, now everything hurts and I'm heading up for an early night. Roll on the weekend!
