Another snowy cold day today and I really did not really intend to write anything today, but here I am again. I had one of my famous accidents this morning: lost my balance whilst cooking and fell to the floor which is quite hard. Did quick body check and found nothing broken, so pressed my emergency button to get help from the first aid people. I could not speak with them as the machine was too far away, but my No. 1 son dealt with it and a young lady arrived 15 minutes later.

I was still on the floor as I cannot stand myself, but together with my son they pulled me up. Once on my feet I can manage OK.

Unfortunately this time my glasses were damaged and the side piece that goes over my ear snapped off. I could not see it as I had no glasses that I could wear. The young lady glued it on, but it fell off again. Eventually No. 1 son fixed it with tape and it is still holding out. I was really lost with my glasses, everything was so blurred.. One of the lens also got scratched. I have now made an appointment for Monday morning at the opticians. Why do these things always happen to me? I just hope that the repair holds out until Monday. At least the weather will be better on Monday.

And that is all I have to say, which is enough. So no-one has to get worried if I disappear – just another one of my stupid accidents.
