I took a tumble today.
Dorothy ran in to me on the beach and next thing I remembered I was face down on the sand smelling of shite.
The dog poo bag in my pocket had burst in the fall and I was winded
Bless she did look concerned
That was six hours ago and I'm home and now aching like a tart at the end of her shift
I can hardly get out of the armchair which is next to the fire.
I've read all afternoon though
A real rare luxury for me.
Nothing beats an afternoon reading, inside on a cold day, log fire foes add to the bliss.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fire is lit and roaring xx
DeleteSorry you took a tumble. Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm always falling over
DeleteEven if you burst the poo bag aren't you lucky you fell into the sand. So much better than concrete. Hope you fell better soon!
ReplyDeleteOuch. Sounds like tumbles are catching. Yorkshire Pudding took one, too. Hope the soreness leaves soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's not!!!!
Deletepoor baby; I kiss and make it alllllll better. nice chopsticks; you are a classy guy.
ReplyDeleteI have always eaten Chinese meals with chopsticks ...the prof and I always did
DeleteHopefully it was a sandy beach and not a pebbly one?
ReplyDeleteIt was hard
DeleteIhope you had a good soak in your bathtub. It would be good for both the aches and the smell.
ReplyDeleteI'm in there at the mo, and have been for nearly an hour
DeleteOh no! And what are the odds the poo bag would burst, as if a fall isn't bad enough?!
ReplyDeleteIt had 16 stone of me on it
DeleteIt was always going to burst xx
Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteI honestly try hard not to laugh at you John, I really do... but popping the poop bag was... well you're just asking to be giggled at. Hopefully only your ego was bruised.
ReplyDeleteHummmmm I'm still hurting
Deletei don't think i've ever known anyone that has the problems with shit bags that you do. though my husband would give you a run for your money.
ReplyDeleteI keep them in my pockets too long......I went to see a film recently in Theatr Clwyd with on in my pocket
DeleteNo broken bones. Be thankful you had that soft material to cushion your fall.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have. Cracked a rib
DeletePainful for a while. I cracked a lower rib some years ago. You could see it out of alignment under the skin at one side. GP offered no sympathy. All he said was "Your modelling days are over." It set like that.
DeleteFalls seem to produce a lot more pain and after-effects as we age. This is the first time I've ever heard of one producing more stink, though :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Will you be giving a little review of the book in the photo?
It's a book given to me by Sitges John....it's an interesting read x
DeleteI have recently tried to read the book but failed miserably. I just could not work out the ravens place in it. I know I should have tried to stay to the end. A review would be good
DeleteOh No ! Thank Goodness no broken bones ! Tylenol and a heating pad
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
parsnip
Also love the dinner, chopsticks and Scotty coaster so yummy and adorable !
DeleteI made ( cooked) dumplings with duck xx
DeleteWell, your day can only go up from there!
ReplyDeleteIt got worse xx
DeleteOh, dearie me! So sorry about your injury. May you get over it very quickly, physically as well as the smell. But pleased you didn't lash out at little Dottie for her innocent mistake, which I know she would have sensed for herself, and it will likely shame her for a while.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm in the bath Raymondo
DeleteShe's sat watching me leaning against the toilet xx
There’s always a pro to every con ! Positive mental attitude. XXXX
ReplyDeleteHard with a broken rib!!!
DeleteDogs are so full of fun and don't think of the consequences do they.My top dog wriggled and struggled as I was trying to stop him escaping and he head butted me and I felt my eye socket swell immediately.If he was on the lead in an area where he would race into danger I would be dragged at speed down banks and once narrowly missing a tree.My lovely lily is a madam too and will race at me very closely at speed for fun- little teddybear,thatch but not new one yet know to either stand still or stick close to me x
ReplyDelete"... aching like a tart at the end of her shift". Classy, John. Why do (some) gay guys think they can get away with shit jokes about females?
ReplyDeleteU
I quite like being called a tart-when said with fun and fondness and tongue in cheek-it's a term of endearment usually.If someone says it to me,a cousin or someone close-we giggle x
DeleteUrsula
DeleteFuck off will you....I am the least sexist person in blogland
And I am in no mood for your troublemaking.....you don't like what I write?, then don't read it...but don't try to lecture me and others with your pious , self serving tripe......now do one
Any further comments from you will be deleted ...so go elsewhere
DeleteAnd I've already deleted two of your comments any more and I shall leave your name here just to embarrass you...
DeleteGo away!

DeleteI had come back to say to Ursula that she's not the boss or monitor of anyone except herself, so go away unless you can quit complaining that John or other folks are offending you. It's your problem, so do get over yourself.
DeleteNone of the women here are taking offence. John this is almost stalker behaviour I don't understand why she keeps coming on here?
DeleteShe's a self processed surveyor of my behaviour and writing
DeleteFeeling entitled to let me know where I constantly go wrong
So sorry you fell over, the the poo bag burst and now you're all stove up. It's good to pamper your deserving self and enjoy a book.
ReplyDeleteYears ago when I was being chased through the house by Daisy, our beloved Basset Hound, she tripped me. When I fell, I broke my left small metacarpal (bone along the outside of your hand, opposite your thumb). I didn't know whether I was going to cry, throw up, or faint, but Daisy was so very concerned about me since I was on the floor where I usually wasn't.
Hugs!
Hugs right back x
DeleteYou have my sympathies. I had my feet knocked from under me on Sunday when one of the beefier of our cats was having a mad five minutes. Just a sprained wrist, but gosh, how difficult that makes normal life. Like you, I have done a lot of reading.
ReplyDeleteI hope you stop creaking soon.
Good Grief, you keep the filled bags in your pocket?!!! Bulldogs must have small turds because no way I'm getting a bag filled by my Golden Retriever in my pocket. Nope, it's in my hand, and when a neighbor I don't like drives by, I wave with the full bag! I wave to people I like with the empty hand. A little under the radar statement! LOL
ReplyDeleteWinnie can pass a medium bin bag of shite!
DeleteShe once stopped the traffic in the village by opening her bowels in the middle of the zebra crossing x
Trying to intervene with squabbling terriers,I've had a finger in the way and required stitches- they were fine x

ReplyDeleteI am 60 years old and would like it possible for a baby puppy Babaka x
DeleteI know that smell/feeling! have just started walking rescue dogs the last month or so and one particularly liked rolling in the stuff and then jumping all over me, this is all new to me but presumably part of the volunteer experience and who am I to spoil their fun.
ReplyDeleteHooray for an afternoon reading.
ReplyDeleteI hope the bruises, the pain and the stiffness are short lived.
They aren't
DeleteSoak in a hot tub with epsom salts...
ReplyDeleteI'm in the bath as I type this....I think I've cracked a few ribs
DeleteHoping and praying you're wrong and nothing's broken!!! That's such an unfortunate accident, and as someone said, it was fortunate you didn't fall on cement. May you heal quickly. Peace be with you, John.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling rough!!!! I may need to find some strong painkillers x
Deleteewww
ReplyDeleteYou can raid my drug stash.
ReplyDeleteHad a fall not fifteen minutes ago. Hot chocolate up the freshly returned ward walls. Its looking like a sluice room.
Brace yourself ursulas back
DeleteI saw, I farted
DeleteShe's doing her pious thing
DeleteYou're confusing piousness with sanctimony
DeleteI am indeed ....nice to have u back
DeleteI hope you had a nice time Mavis x
DeleteOh, jeez!
ReplyDeleteYou deserved an afternoon of reading
I oh so did
DeleteSorry for your fall. Maybe you need to get an x-ray? Broken ribs can lead to other problems at times. Feel better.
ReplyDeleteI think I've broken a rib
DeleteAdd some Epsom salts to your bath. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get out of the bath
DeleteOuch, ouch, ouch, do we need to send in help? Falls really can hurt. I had several bad falls in 2014- the first half of 2015. At least once I thought, this is where they will find me decomposing into the carpet.
ReplyDeleteDavid .....ive booked my hotel!!
DeleteI am beginning to think you are accident prone.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are those things in the bowl? They look like pigs' tails to me...and is that blood on them?
ReplyDeleteYes-I can see now too YP but I think John may be trying an alternative cure of pickled appendages x
DeleteI was wondering about getting out of the tub!
ReplyDeleteIbuprofen!
ReplyDeleteIce then heat......
ReplyDelete....then a soak in an epsom salt bath.
