Do you have days when everything you do goes pear-shaped? I certainly do and am currently right in the middle of what I refer to as a Clumsy Day. So what does this mean? Well simply put:

  • I drop things
  • I bump into things
  • I knock things over
  • I fall over myself

Oh I know what you’re thinking and yes I suppose I am a silly old fool, but there are times when I really wonder if someone has it in for me. Persecution complex? Yes, perhaps.

Earlier this morning, while still wearing nothing but my birthday suit, I got my feet tangled together at the top of the stairs and ended up at the bottom much quicker then I would have liked: I understand now why women complain about carpet burns! The stripped skin will heal soon enough and the bruising will reduce and fade in time, but my dignity has taken another large dent that will take some serious panel beating to remove. Thank goodness it was early morning, or the neighbours would have had a really scary start to their day had they been looking through the window beside our front door! :oops:

Having scrapped myself up and limped into the kitchen to lick my wounds, I thought it best to ignore my mishap and get on with the business of the day. The kitchen floor was the next to suffer when I sneezed, cuppa in hand and sprayed it liberally.

Two down then and one to go, assuming my wise old Mother’s ‘things always happen in threes’ still holds water. So dear readers I tender this warning: keep well away for the next couple of hours! :-/
