Bugger, walking Beano this morning and I managed to trip. I ended up sprawled on the grass. I had great difficulty getting up.
Beano had spotted our neighbour with her dogs on the other side of the road. Beano and I walked across the road so the dogs could say hello. Unfortunately I misjudged the height of the grass verge and ended up sprawled across it.
I had great difficulty getting up. I wasn't hurt but all three dogs seemed to think I was stretched out on the grass as I wanted to play! They were bouncing around me with great enthusiasm.
I eventually regained my balance and stood up, then we had to untangle the three leads, all three dogs were on extending leads.
We eventually managed to untangle the dogs and their leads and I returned home. All seemed well, I've enough fat covering me plus I was wearing my padded winter coat. I've had a fairly busy day, I went for lunch with Betty at her bowls club, came home, then took Beano out for a walk and then went to the summer house.
When I got home I sat on the sofa and dropped off to sleep, something I do fairly regularly. Unfortunately I fell asleep with my legs curled under me, not a good idea. Oh boy were my knees stiff and painful when I woke up. A quick stretch and wriggle and they have eased. I went to the bedroom to find some painkillers but realised once I'd found them that my knees had stopped hurting.
I really need to be less of a klutz, at 73 you'd think I should have mastered the art of walking!

Sorry Hester - I've got your blog mixed up with Ilona's that I've only just read x
Glad you're OK. That must have shaken you up.
Careful ...you wouldnt want a visit from the trips and falls officer , a peculiar gestapo belonging to the local councils
I'm glad your natural and coat padding saved you from being too hurt, but it does shake you up doesn't it. Alan went A over T the other week, when he slipped on the sleepers that edge our garden beds, they were green and wet, he went with a real thud onto the path full length and totally winded himself. Oh well it did mean that the pressure washer was out the next day so it shouldn't happen again.
