Good morning all. 6.2ish. I can’t quite remember as I’ve been up and down since 4.30 and kept forgetting to look!
Yesterday’s walk nearly didn’t happen as I fell, quite literally, at the first hurdle. Parked up in Silloth on Solway to catch the bus to Allonby to walk back. We were early so I decided I’d use the public loos incase the ones in Allonby were closed ( they were, until Easter). As I came out of the toilet block I was blinded by the sun and slipped on the only patch of ice on the entire path! Landed right on my posterior, left buttock to be precise.I don’t have much padding on my bum, so I did clatter down. It did hurt but I jumped up and pronounced I was fine. I wasn’t, but didn’t want to let on as I was looking forward to the walk. Caught the bus as planned and pain was subsiding as I’d only taken some painkillers for a headache just a few minutes before I fell. I was fine on the walk, a couple of twinges but managed it no problem. 7.5 miles. Arrived back to car at 4ish. We sat and watched the sunset and it’s aftermath, then got fish and chips at 5, ate them in the car and drove home. 40 minutes, home at 6. Got home and I couldn’t get out of the car! I’d seized up! Of course I needed the loo and getting up the stairs wasn’t much fun. Sitting on the loo wasn’t much fun either, I was in agony. I just couldn’t sit on my left buttock. All in all I can walk ok, come down the stairs ok but sitting down and going up the stairs or bending down is difficult. As for getting in and out of bed, OMG! Hence the early hour, up for loo and couldn’t face getting back into bed. I hope it’s just bruised and I haven’t cracked anything. Got childcare today and six for lunch, that’ll soon let me know the damage. What a numpty! Or as Mr Eggy puts it, a liability. If there’s a hole or a bog or a patch of ice I’ll find it and fall into/onto it! It’s my super power. 😱
Have a fab Friday folks. Now where’s that codeine?
Some photos of a beautiful but very, very chilly walk along the King Charles 111 England Coastal Path, well, a tiny tiny bit of it!
