| | | She fell over, she fell over.
Yesterday and today, I did something daft.
Yesterday-Whilst concentrating on a flock of seagulls that were flying over my garden, gathering up swarming flying ants-I didn't watch what I was doing and fell into the Rabbits run, winded myself and couldn't get up for laughing. Massive bruise on hip and sore ribs.
Today-walking along a VERY busy public road, I noticed a butterfly that darted out in front of me, followed it with my eyes and you guessed it-yep-down I went spread eagled on the pavement.Cut shin, sore hands, hurt pride.
My husband has banned me from cliff edges now.
Lesson to all from the wise-don't forget personal physical safety whilst wildlife watching!
Achy and bruised WW

Oh dear - makes you feel so silly doesn't it.
I slipped over the other weekend on a innocent looking grassy slope. Ended up with my arm covered in blood from a number of scratches. Was mostly injured pride though  |

Achy and bruised WW | I could design you a large baby walker. That would allow you to move around in safety  |

I fell over a fence today whilst going to get a photo of a tree. I had to laugh as I thought I would have had I seen someone else do the same and I almost wished someone had seen me as it would have given them a good laugh, but I dont think anyone saw me which was a shame.
Then I saw a cheeky monkey run infront of the car. It was a long thin animal, maybe 10-12 inches and when I went past his head bobbed up to have a deckers but then he chipped.
He wasnt really a monkey but I dont know what he was |

Don't worry I fall over two or three times a year doing fieldwork..... You have to laugh it's the best way to deal with it! |

Heard on the tradio earlier that some mupperts thought they would try their new 4X4 out on some mudflats, and it promptly sank right in front of their eyes.
Would have loved to have seen that |

It was funny but today I don't know what bit of me hurts most.  I have fallen in our pond once too. That was rescuing a frog. I was trying to get it off a cat, in my rush to get out to save it, I'd put my husbands slippers on(he thinks slippers are for the garden), slipped on the wet grass grass once I'd got it, went towards the pond and kept going. I went to the bottom with the frog still in hand. When I came in, soaking wet and covered in pond slime all Chris said was-are my slippers ok!!

Might be worth getting to your quack to get checked out for Meniere's. Sorry to be a downer. |

These sort of things humour me immensely, particularly if they're caught on film
I have to say that I was walking through my local town of Havant the other day, looking for some photographic inspiration, whilst not keeping my eyes on where I was walking, BANG! Full pelt into a rather low hanging roadside, both post and triangular sign... didn't half hurt.
