Bruised!!

This morning - Shimmied up an ancient step ladder, Black and Decker in hand, ready to do battle with a rusty recalcitrant bracket - postie knocks at the door - startles step ladder - which immediately did it's impersonation of a bucking bronco! I hit the radiator on the way down, land on floor with my head in the cat basket - cat not happy - me not happy - postie not happy!

Hey ho - hot bath - generous application of Arnica - even more generous application of Jameson's - and a good excuse to spend the afternoon lounging about on sofa and watching DVDs.

The things one does to banish lockdown blues!

Oh Tabs, what have you done? Hope you don't hurt too much tomorrow. Here's a cuddle.

Re: Bruised!!

So sorry Silver Tabby! That sounds like a scene straight out of Keeping up Appearances!
I do hope you feel better soon.

I fell off a ladder once. Still have a tiny scar on my elbow to remind me.

Good grief, that must have been unnerving in addition to painful! So pleased you weren't seriously hurt.

Your cat has asked me to pass along the message that a different style of hat would be most appreciated .

Seriously, Tabby, if you hit your head, you might (please) consider asking a dependable friend to check on your tonight and again in the morning.

Enjoy the movies!

Furry cat basket (and cat) saved my head, Surfermom, my shoulder hit the radiator. I am a lovely shade of technicolour now - look out Hollywood!

LOL! It might have knocked some sense into me, Keezoy but it was just my shoulder hit the radiator.

Was the radiator on so that you didn't get the cold shoulder?
