Ouch

I'm not having a very good week of it.

Two days ago, I fell off the folding chair I was standing on to water the veg seedlings in the conservatory (yes, yes, I know. The new stepladder arrived today).

Today, I've managed to slide down the stairs after slipping on the power cord of the fan I was carrying down in an attempt to speed up the defrosting of the freezer....

I suspect I'll have an even more impressive collection of bruises tomorrow, and -- most annoying of all -- I've scuffed my fresh nail varnish. Still, if that's all the harm that's been done then I should be glad.

Well, other than to the fan. That'll be off to the tip with the next batch of stuff.

Yeek! I'm glad you escaped without more serious damage to yourself!

They were both more like ungraceful slithers to the ground than actual full on falls!

Ow! I hope damage to varnish can be repaired before Eastercon...

I think it's scuffs of paint off the wall, so I'm hoping that they're going to rub off.... At least it's not a very dark colour!

If it had been slightly worse, I'd have had it off and re-done it, but it doesn't *quite* seem worth it.

Hmph. Fix the fan, don't dump it. You're in the country now - you've got to learn to do these things!

The floor was kind of covered in bits of plastic and metal afterwards....

Yeah - that's what you use. And glue, and sticky-tape, and solder, four-inch nails. All good! And fans are especially good after fixing, as they play a tune then. (He says - as Cook arrives, right on cue...)
