i had an accident

oh, don't worry it wasn't very big or serious or anything.  i went out the back to get a pot to put some avocado seeds in (i hope they grow).  i went through the gate and bent down to pick up a pot when, a gust of wind blew the gate shut behind me and knocked me in the butt.  it was enough to make me lose my balance and topple forward and then sideways into the wheelbarrow.  you know how when you trip and lose your balance and it's like it's in slow motion but it's really only a few seconds?  and once you start to fall you can't stop?  injuries?  yes, a few.  though not serious.  i have hurt my ring finger and taken the skin off my thumb. my foot and shoulder hurts, i think i twisted it.  i've also hurt my chest/back.  nothing much really. by a happy coincidence i have a physio appointment in the morning. :)  thank goodness no-one saw me coz i'd be embarrassed as well as a bit sore.  i also have a headache.  :)  i think i'll live.  a few vw pics to cheer me up.  and a kitty.

  2. Sorry about your accident, and glad not much except maybe your pride was damaged. After all you went through I hope those darn avocado seeds sprout!

    2. No he doesn't think you are a 'nong'..he has fallen a few times and falling according to him is exactly as you described.
      Hope you are feeling ok.

  4. I'm glad you are not too badly hurt because I had to suppress a smile as i visualised you being hit in the but by a swinging gate and you toppling into the wheelbarrow.
