that was Christmas . . . this is New Year

. . . and so yesterday I was cleaning in the kitchen, slipped on a patch of wet floor, fell and twisted my ankle but Kept Calm and Carried on.
By evening the pain was getting worse and the foot was swollen.
Stella took me to hospital where we spent three hours in A&E, I had an x-ray and then came home.
No bones broken fortunately, but Rest has been ordered for the next 2 days (useful diagrams received showing a chap on a sofa with his feet up on cushions ~ aha! I get it!) and Ice Packs at regular intervals.
It is my turn to host the NYE dinner so I am a trifle perturbed about the two hunks of lamb which have yet to be cut up into 'bite-sized pieces ~ mainly becasue I am now forced to either hop about the place like a demented robin or crawl on all fours like a dim-witted tabby.
Like all things, this will pass and besides, it is funny really, but at the moment I am just so frustrated because there is so much to DOOOOO!!

Christmas 2011 . . .

. . . exhausting!
no more than most years I suspect ~ it must just be me getting older
One new pip expected early in the New Year
I have been off screen for ages for a variety of reasons and have had little time even to look at other blogs far less comment ~ although I have been keeping up to date as much as I have been able.
back later with news . . . . hopefully!
