sollers

It wasn't a problem with my daughters as a) they could have things explained to them and b) they didn't follow me round clutching toys that they then dropped on the stairs. The item in question was a short section of knotted rope that she is very fond of, particularly when I throw it for her, and she often brings toys up in the hopes that I will play with her instead of working, changing clothes etc.

I stepped on it coming down the stairs yesterday, it rolled under my foot and I came crashing down more or less on my behind. Specifically, right thigh down, which connected with the step. I now have a painful lump the size of a duck's egg and walking is very, very painful. The down side is that I'm actually on holiday this week; but on the other hand it doesn't stop me from working on Old English, doing some crits for the Historical Fiction group. doing some work on "Leila and Lily" and practising the ukulele, so it's not a total loss.
