In complete dismissal of all OSH rules I climbed on top of a table to put up a display in a classroom and promptly managed to fall off. I was sent d for X-rays of my wrist, elbow and shoulder because they were what I landed on. And I’ve managed to continue my nearly 52-year streak of not breaking a bone. Ouch! Hope this heals fast! And I hope it is just strained, not broken.
Reminds me of one of my teachers who managed to break his arm on one of our school trips while buying tickets for a museum....
(he was one of the clumsiest people I had ever met; luckily, that was a local museum here in Germany; we also did a trip to Rome with that teacher, without any incidents)
But you sound much more energetic!

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

No breaks, just bruises, thank you. Very lucky this time, I think.

Terrible news. And yes, WHY are they still being used? I can't think of a "reason" these days beyond "authenticity" or "it's cheaper", and neither are in any way valid when weighed against someone's life.

I cannot believe I have a whole week off work now. Woohoo. And I have so much planned. I want to do some painting (Warhammer) and while doing that, catch up with some audios. I have a huge backlog of movies which I would like to watch (including some Marvel ones, yes, I still have not seen Black Panther. It is sitting right here, looking at me). I have family time schedules Wednesday and Thursday. There is a wellness and yoga class schedule. I want to visit our large aquarium that is 1 hour drive away and that features sharks and crocs. I have not been for 15 years. It is about time for a re-visit. Who cares if the weather outside is crap? Everybody, have a great weekend!

I can feel the pain. My trusty companion of the past 10 years is just about to leave me for the same reason.... so I got a bargain on EBay and bought another used one. No idea how long that will keep, though... but still, my trusty old one was actually a gift from a friend of mine, it was her old used one. Back then, these things were build to last. It went strong for 14 years. Show me anything today that could beat that!

My cousin returning to his old job after his new job stressed him out to point he was physically sick, thankfully he was accepted & all his 13yrs working there is unaffected.
However his wife been moody moaning people at the hospital were she works saying your husband a quitter, she has been moody with him saying not sure how feels about him.
So me mouth on legs ripped into her last night & told her my cousin had traumatic past & she knew that when married, i said don't belittle him & make him feel worthless, he swallowed pride admitted made mistake and got old job back which i commended him on.
I said he looked after you, given you what you wanted & you have very little debts & you speak to him like this.
My cousin a good man but like me he has a traumatic past & i aye having him run down by anyone including his wife.

Hope it sorted quickly for you tomorrow, I'd complain but that's just me cause I'm a grumpy git. Nope! still not sorted, no stock……three month wait! i went apeshit, got manager, made them call the head office. they are morons, the shop is a shambles…….. so got to go back next week when a replacement arrives they don’t replace batteries they swap iPads……..seems odd, and will have to have a different colour. they need to sort apple and make batteries replaceable, not impressed with them at all……… we need legislation, to stop them creating so much electronic waste in search of profit……..they need to force them to have a lifespan of more than 3 years! Apple products great till you need a repair, you listen to others in shop and they never sort things without charging, “iPhone too old to work with those headphones, scratch screen oh that’s not covered in care plan, we need to reset you! need to pay for iCloud to have enough storage so we can fix it” they were just the excuses while I was sitting there and when I said I had cancer n needed to be careful & keep 2 meters away, you would have thought I was asking them to strip n dance naked, WHY? was the reply. Still made me go on a bench with six other people! just awful…… sorry for the rant, but feel better now……..lol

Had a blissful day in the new kitchen yesterday, cooking away.
Full English breakfast, two banana breads, three types of soup, a lamb Sunday roast and prepped for meatballs that went in the slow cooker first thing this morning.

Yeah, it really was good to get back into the swing of things! And to have a gas hob and fan oven at long last!

Had a fantastic day at the aquarium today. It is an hour drive away. They have expanded and are now nearly twice as large as they were since I have been last. They have a huge tank with fully grown bull sharks and a gym hall full of crocodilians (it is massive!), they have different crocodiles, alligators and caimans. Came home to wonderful sunshine, went for another walk, and then made myself some wonderful roast chicken. Now I think it is time for some audios.
