Making my way to bed last night, in bare feet, I kicked the right angle of the skirting board in my hall. After a few expletives, I noticed my toe was sticking out at an angle. Rightly or wrongly, I whacked it back into place and sat in the edge of the bath and ran cold water on my foot until it was almost numb then I massaged in some Arnica cream took a painkiller and went to bed.
This morning, apart from some bruising above my toe, all is well. How good is that!
