I fell over in our garden this morning, & landed awkwardly, knocking down a trellis, & suffered lumps & bumps, & felt an utter fool! I will have to remember I am not as young as I like to think, & the dud knee WILL let me down!! I need to stop pretending it wont!
Luckily, GOM came to my rescue, as I just thought I would lie there quietly until I could resume thinking. He picked me up, made me a cup of coffee, & told me to rest! Bless him!

Meggie ,
I hope the bumps and lumps aren't too bad . Well done to GOM. Only drunk people or burglars are supposed to fall over in the garden-- be careful . Is the trellis a write off ? Take care of the knee/s .
Take care of those bumps and lumps. I enjoyed your meme. I can never make the connection between eating and gaining weight until it's too late.
Hi -- thanks for visiting & commenting on my blog!
I'm so sorry to hear about your fall, although it sounds like you approached it with a healthy dose of humor. Glad you had someone there to coddle you afterwards.
PS - Sopranos is one of my favorites, too.
Hope you feel better soon, rest sounds like a good prescription. I do so enjoy reading your blog postings, thank you for being you.
Oh, you have such a big sense of humor, I love that ! Thanks !
Hugs & smiles,
NADINE.
I love your answer to #27!
"Odaiji ni" - take care of your health ;)
