Well - that plan didn’t work out the way it was supposed to!
It being a cold, but nice night, I thought I’d get a bit of exercise and have a nice stroll up to the corner shop and back but got to the top of the road and promptly skidded on a completely invisible patch of black ice and ended up on my back! It took me ages to get to my feet again and the shop closed before I could get there.
So please, all my fellow forum users, be extra careful if you’re popping to the shops for a pint of milk, you might come back home with a few extra bruises instead!
Ha ha, no Poll, I already had some! Needed some milk to make a lovely milky coffee, I had to make do with watery weak tea instead yukkk!
I’m OK now but a fall outside like that makes you feel so unsure of your footing, it took me half an hour to get there and a full hour to come back, and it was only the corner shop two streets away!
Anyway, whatever the weather, try not to get too chummy with the pavements!!
