Why are the frozen Peas

[gness]

that were on my bitten elbow earlier now on my swollen and twisted ankle?
Because at the open air performance of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight, during the interval in the dark I fell down the channel that had been cut out of the lawn for the lighting.
The foot stuck in the gulley,twisted but don`t think it`s broken and where did the rest of me end up? On the lap of some poor old chap having forty winks in his deck chair.
I am really thinking I should live on a little island on my own. :-(

[Duncer]

Who would fetch your Guinness?

[2sp_]

Lordy, gness!!

We really need to get you a minder/career!

[HowardKennitby]

Island seems a bit extreme, possibly looking where you are going is more practical. Hope things get better soon. :-)

[gness]

Maybe I should stay off the Guinness Duncer unless you sailed by now and again with supplies.

Hope you meant carer 2sp. My careers were often disasters. :-)

[gness]

It was pitch black Howard and the killer heels didn`t help.

[Hopkirk]

Oh how I wish I had been in that deck chair.

[Buenchico]

You might have timed your fall better, Gness. Around the time that Lady Bracknell said "Mr. Worthing, sir, rise from this semi-recumbent posture, it is most indecorous!" would have been appropriate!
;-)

OK, here goes. I've thought long and hard about this and the possible consequences, but, pace AP, "A Handbag??"

[Duncer]

Gness, I would be happy to sail by with lots of the black stuff, but I fear for my portion of aforementioned magic liquid. I can see us fighting over the last tin.

[gness]

Not where I grabbed the poor guy Hopkirk.
The chap playing Lady B was a dish. Worth staying semi-recumbent for I think.
"A handbag" was appropriate when we realised on the way home that one of us had picked up the wrong one in the dark.

[Hopkirk]

Ooh, the poor bugger.

[nungate]

And I used to think I was accident prone!

[gness]

Don`t think I`ve always been this bad. Daughter commented on it last week after the midnight domino rally with everything that wasn`t screwed down in my workroom.

[lady-janine]

oh gns - why are you wearing killer heels when you know you have got to walk on grass? hope you have not done any serious hurt.

[gness]

Trying to impress the leading man LadyJ. Swelling is going down but the mottled bruising look is not becoming and I have an electrician coming today.

[Dee Sa]

I am sorry to laugh at your misfortune gness but when I picture the scenario .............. I cant help myself, hope you havent broken anything.

I am sure there are plenty off Scotland - but then I would need my own winery, distillery and brewery...you probably do so as well!

[gness]

Will add to Duncer`s supply list DT.
Did wonder if anything was broken when I hobbled home so I finished the Pimms.

[DTCwordfan]

quite right, one has to have a flavoursome anaesthetic.....

[mrs_overall]

Morning Gness.
You are not fit to be let out!
When the electrician arrives, stay well away from where he is working. Under no circumstances touch anything electrical....or whatever tool he has to hand ;-)
