I may fall over again....

........because I'm so busy watching may hand! I had decided that when the money from the vineyard came through I would treat myself to a remodelled engagement ring. Then I rationalised - I dont need to spend THAT much, so I went ahead and got it done anyway. As the citrine in my ring was looking very cloudy I went in and checked out getting a golden sapphire - more expensive, but it should see me out. The diamonds are the original, and also part of the band. The picture was quite hard to take. I am just about to intoduce it to the real world of gardening.

And if thats not enough to draw my attention away while I'm walking , it may well be my feet. I have had a pedicure this morning, wonderful massage on my ankle which seems to have reduced the swelling heaps, and got my nails painted bright, deep pink. I dont know how that will go with my red patent leather sandals, but they both have that shiny quality.

Its not Kneesy

I have been checking to see if Jill has been blogging on my site since I put pictures on hers but no. I dare say we will get a fair few when they move. So here are some photos of body parts which have been causing me some grief lately. Firstly the knee which I injured recently at Ohiwa. I was just celebrating being back in reasonable shape when I was walking up the path at school, talking to some student over my shoulder. The the knee gave way and I hit the edge of the path with my other foot and over I went. (I think this is very puffy - but just the angle I took the photo from)

This is the ankle that I sprained as a consequence, so my life has been quite quiet as I tend to nod off as soon as I put my foot up as a result of the painkillers. However I've stopped taking them now and can move slowly, and in a straight line without my crutches. Steps and rough ground may take a wee while longer.

However I got the candy cane award (a walking stick at Christmastime) at school from Sonja. She was the teacher who was not far behind me and was able to pull my skirt down and prevent my knickers being seen by too many students!!
