    Oh dear! Exactly what you didn't want. Whinge away, Kate. You've earned the right :) I'm glad no bones were broken but what a bummer!
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I learned the hard way over the years to concentrate on the task in hand when walking outdoors - I have been known to walk past friends and neighbours simply because I haven't 'clocked' them. I find things a little easier now I have a rollator, that has made a big difference. I hope things are easing for you today, keep up with the dullers because they do help. DD
    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben
