Oh no, not again

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.”
From Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Clearly I am not a bowl of petunias, which is reassuring, as two coherent thoughts went through my mind at approximately 8:45 yesterday morning. One was “Oh no, not again” and the other was “Head UP”. Which is why I have purple knees, sore ribs and an uncomfortable shoulder this morning, but my face looks pretty much the same as ever. I came off my bike. AGAIN. This time it was because of ice. (And I’m not a complete idiot – in fact the only reason I fell off was because I was stopping to walk past the worst of the ice – grrrr!)

I’m fine, but I can recommend avoiding bruising your ribs when you already have a cough – just a thought.

A gentle kiss to the poorly bits, magic cream on the sore bits and virtual hug so you feel better x

That’s it – from now on I will think of you as Petunia.

Oops and ouch. Hope you’re not too scathed!

Ouch!! I’m glad it was just bruises at least… Heal quickly.
