In which our hero imitates Humpty Dumpty

Belated happy birthdays to jamalov29, sp23, and treiza. On time happy birthdays to kantayra and jadeleopard

I fell down on the way to work on Thursday night. I’d hurt my ankle the day before and as I was walking briskly – not running, I was in plenty of time – for the bus that ankle gave way under me. I went down like a felled tree. I skinned the palms of my hands and one knee, bruised the knee as well, and ruined the knee of the trousers that I was wearing. My favourites, even though I hate the colour; they’re the only really comfortable ones that I own. I think they’re beyond repair.

Perhaps because of the fall I’ve felt somewhat out of sorts during these days off. My intended completion of ‘Life, Resumed’ hasn’t been accomplished although I still have one night to go and it is just possible that I’ll get it done. I’ve been writing away but what I’ve produced just doesn’t seem good enough. In fact I’ve felt rather down about my writing altogether. I haven’t really been able to summon up the enthusiasm.

But now I’ve just seen something that has fired me up again. mythichistorian has created some delightful artwork for Tabula Avatar and it’s brought the smile back to my face. Find it HERE.

I am more than a bit of a klutz myself. I have been going to Pilates exercise classes for many years, which has improved my balance a lot. I definitely walk carefully and try to avoid tripping. Tripping doesn't automatically mean that I will fall down anymore. My husband doesn't pay too much attention to where his feet are. He trips frequently, but rarely if never falls. Lucky him. One time on the way to work in downtown Manhattan, I stepped into a foot sized hole. I fell hard, which was very bad for the ego. I probably ripped my pantyhose, not that I remember that part, but that was hardly a problem. Too bad about your favorite trousers.

BTW the artwork is beautiful.

I've been toying with a 'Pilates of the Caribbean' story idea for a while now.
