I think the little stinkers are all finally asleep...it was a bit of an effort tonight, especially since Andy is off seeing the Watchmen.

Not the most attractive view of my generally slender and delicate ankle. Nor does it quite do the bruising justice. And it's not the most spectacular bruise I've ever seen, but you get that, being in the SCA, although the perpendicular stripes thing is quite interesting. The slightly darker shadow going up my leg is also bruising (the faint red splotches are a birth mark), but green and yellow where the other lot is blue and purple. Also bizarrely, there is some bruising just above my toes, which I think has been pushed down there by the bandaging. However, after a long soak in a tub of Radox (there was some water in there too) last night the swelling had gone down quite a bit this morning. So no more tennis ball. But I'm getting pretty sick of sitting around sweating on the couch with my foot on a cushion.

Actually I did quite a bit of hobbling around this morning. Andy was going to a dentists appointment, and I said it would not b a problem for me to look after Ashwyn for half an hour or so. However, when he took the kids to school he noticed there was water welling up between two paving stones in the back garden. Not good. we managed to get a plumber out failry quickly, but it meant I had to hobble around dealing with plumbers, and keeping babies out of the hole he was digging in the back yard. Then the mowing guy showed up. I had another one of those 'getting old' moments when I realised I was probably at least ten years older than both the plumber and the mowing guy (although not both put together thank God).

The first serious one of these was while I was living in Canberra. I ended up with a very new and slightly nervous doctor, and it was quite disconcerting to realise I was older and more together than my doctor. It occured to me that by the time I was eighty I would be feeling like that all the time....
