Of Gravel and Bogs (by sarah)
I've had two falls in two days - the first was on Wednesday Al was mucking about with the spring and I felt we needed to get on with tidying the house up so I decided to go back the longer but slightly easier way across the field rather than through the barb wired fence.
this turned out to have been a bit of a mistake as half way across the filed there is normally a little boggy patch - said patch was now a little stream which me being me, still tried to get across - whilst wearing sandles. As predicted I sank up to my knee in filthy cow juice water and fell over in the bog. Sigh.
Then today I was out in the stable rotating the luandary when I hard a loud crash from the house - fearing that somehting horrible had happened to Al I ran out of the stable only to go skidding on the gravel landing hard on my right hand and hip, somehow I also managed to highly graze my left knee - not entirely sure how I managed this nor how comes I ended up laying on my back in the pouring rain with Al standing above me asking if I was all right looking a bit panicky.
Grrr... and ouch is all I'm gonna say and that this is going to make waxing my legs for the weekend interesting :/
