There's the thing... Been trying to tell myself that all day and her sister has been telling me I shouldn't be so upset with myself as well... Think it's partly been to do with my own long road back after my own fall... And, understanding how tough it will be for her...


just think how well placed you will be to offer advice and/or help her on the road to recovery and that shes in a far better way than she would have been without your intervention and help already!

or be human and keep beating yourself up, we all do it ;)

I think I have found some opinionated self promoter on LinkedIn.. keeps replying with papers he has written but fails to answer the basic question .. ah well that is the internet.

Been fairly irritated with myself and the world in general today...

When I went up to bed last night and turned over, to sleep, I heard what I thought was a baby crying or some animal calling out... Chose to ignore it and went to sleep... When I woke, a few hours later, (to take a leak) I thought I could still hear same/similar crying out... After taking leak I went downstairs and stood outside my front door... After a few minutes I realised what I could hear was my elderly neighbour calling for help... With only a pair of crocs and undercrackers on I went to neighbours door and called through letterbox asking what was up... She replied, very tearfully and in some notable pain, she'd fallen down the stairs... Returned home to alert herself and get a few more items of clothing on... We went back, let ourselves in and quickly assessed we needed professional help... Although between us we did manage to untangle our lovely neighbour and administer as much reassurance as possible... Took an age for help to arrive (over two hours)… To be absolutely fair to the paramedics they were spot on with the tender care they provided for neighbour just wish they could've been on the scene quicker... Some, a lot, of the blame lying with me if only I'd taken way more notice earlier... The upshot is, the old girl had broken her femur, in the fall, and I suspect it's going to be long road of recovery...

Been properly hateing the world today...
Think you're being a bit tough on yourself. You did what you could once you worked out what was going on. Nothing more you can do once the femur was broken other than keep them comfy and reassured

Really don't get why anyone wants to spend 300k plus on a beach hut.

Guess it's just not my thing.


dont get me wrong its an idyllic spot on the spit, but nope I dont have the sort of money that I could even consider it or would if i did! its kind of amazing considering what you can get a mile in land for the same money in bricks and mortar!

edit: nice place to have a beer if youre at Hengistbury Head btw

Oh yes, when I cycle over, I have a wander around, and a beer at the pizza/bar on the spit. Lovely to sit and watch the world go by.

Pre Covid, obv.

Local power cut. Not too bothered about the lack of power, the neighbours alarm whirling is annoying me though.

Next door's brat absolutely screaming his head off in their garden while I have to have the back doors open so I don't die of heat exhaustion. :mad:

There's also about five flies in here driving me mad. Working from home is supposed to be more stress-free isn't it? o_O
