Mornin' all!

It's 12.2C. and 10:36am here in little Appleby and very windy. I love it and all the torrential rain etc. we've been having!

I fell down the stairs last night and smashed the left side of my face on the wall corner! I landed in a crumpled heap in absolute agony and screaming in pain but as I'm single and live alone there was nobody to help me up! I had one hell of a struggle but eventually managed to stand!

There's no cracks or breakages but half of the face is very badly swollen and bruised, as in the rest of my body and my teeth and gums are pounding!

I know I shouldn't have done but I took 2 Paracetamol AND 2 Nurofen and washed them down with a large glass of Glenfiddich!

Made up a hot water bottle and laid in bed shaking from top to toe and freezing cold but I think it was some sort of shock hitting me!

I had a awful night with little sleep, just wanted to drink gallons of cold water but I'm at work again this morning, slow and stiff but I'm getting there! I can't let a silly accident ruin my day!

I've now got a huge mug of hot chocolate here on my work desk and it's glorious!

I hope all of you have a brilliant day whatever you're doing!

good morning to all gn's from a sunny but windy north yorkshire. Am still creaking around but have been sorting some things out and am now getting ready to go swimming, which I hope will improve my mobility. It is a lot to deal with Pantglas when you move quickly isnt it? Physically you are here but it takes a while to be mentally here. HOpe all settles down well for you . Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning from a windy yet sunny East Midlands. An afternoon of painting for me. Love to all.

mizuna I can’t see your photo or fgts. It says user post image in a little box!

Hi folks, apologies about the photo issue. We're looking at it now - I'll let you know when it's fixed.

Hi all, this should be fixed now. Apologies for the inconvenience. Happy picture posting 😀

Sorry to hear that The Weirdo - I’ve had 2 falls this year, first I tripped on my clothes horse, and the second, down a flight of marble stairs, on holiday. Recovered fairly well, but has left me with a fear of stairs/escalators. I only use lifts, where possible.

Perfect view of sea and beach.

I've seen your lovely photos at last.
That sounds awful the weirdo
Can you get a doctor or nurse to look at you?
