Ouch Ouch OUCH!

I’ve done a silly thing, after falling down those steps last week & walking away without a scratch, I moved a stool from under the breakfast bar yesterday & felt something go BOING in my back…

After spending all afternoon asleep in bed, here I am feeling like a total waste of space, so fed up I’ve even been watching boring football. You don’t feel the boredom above the pain…

And our son Liam is driving over from Germany tomorrow night, he’ll be here early on Saturday & I’ve got loads to do – but can hardly move. Poor lad he’ll have to drive through snow by the looks of things. At least there’s one advantage, he’s got his winter snow tyres on his car, not just any old tyres. They get a hefty fine over there if they don’t use them during winter. That’s how come Germany doesn’t grind to a halt after an inch of snow has fallen. They also have a far superior & dependable transport system in general, the railway network, bus network, even bicycles & monocycles are more balanced reliable…

Introducing snow tyres here just wouldn’t work though would it? It’s too late, people would say they can’t afford it. Yet if they had been introduced years ago, nobody would bat an eyelid. So which costs less?

• Transport disruption, accidents & people not being able to get to work costing millions per day.
• Or a Government subsidy for winter tyres on every car? There’s been several fatal accidents on the roads just these past couple of weeks, & we’re not up to the white stuff being everywhere yet.

Just a thought…

Anyway, back to yesterday's photo “wotsit” quiz thing, the answer is:

A kids fishing net – with a really thick pole, the top 4 inches of it was sticking up out of the water. We couldn’t work out how this “stick thing” was defying gravity & not moving with the water. So Dave went round to investigate & that’s what he caught with the (other) pole thing off the roof, not often you catch a fishing net with a pole(?) The net itself must’ve been embedded at the bottom, & unfortunately the whole thing got binned before I got chance to take a photo…

That’s what you call a hazard to your prop, well, this post started with pain so it’s going to end that way… Agghhh…
