Firstly let me apologise for not replying to comments to posts over the last few days. I have tried, but the gods, seasons whatever have conspired against me lol!

Anyway yesterday I didn't get anywhere near the computer to post and it was a long day in more ways than one!

Picture this

There was I yesterday, running around like a mad thing in the morning trying to get a picnic ready to go to Wrest park to the St George's day festival. As I was packing the picnic basket up, I dashed into the kitchen to collect something I had forgotten when WHALLOP, I was laying on my back on the floor.

Despite calling I realised Nigel and Richard had gone out to get petrol and Simon was under the shower - the cause of my fall as water was coming through the kitchen ceiling and I hadn't noticed it until I had slipped on the puddle congregating on the tiled floor and went over.

Manage to get up, gingerly, took some painkillers straight away, an anti inflammatory pill and crawled upstairs to yell at Simon, by which time Nigel had come home and started the clean up!

After sealing the bath (yet again) and doing whatever he had to do to stop the water coming through, I managed to get myself ready put a smile on my face and off we went to join in the festivities.

It was good, there was a lot of walking and very little sitting, there from 10 - 4 and boy was I in agony by the time I got home!

But we had fun, the sun shone and I got slightly burnt despite having factor 50 on and it was a nice relaxing day.

This morning I did manage to walk youngest to school and then came home and am now sitting here trying to catch up before I dash out of the door to head for work. Only for two hours today bt hopefully will manage to get through with a combination of painkillers and anti inflammatories - yes back is really hurting today, I don't want to take any more time off, I have a job application form to fill in which asks for how much time you have had off in 2 years!!!

Anyway here are some photos of the festivities yesterday:

This man was lying on a bed of nails with two paving slabs on his stomach which his jester friend broke with a sledgehammer!

The Saracen laughing at us booing him

St George, who is a lot nicer than this picture suggests:

And St George slaying the dragon lol!

Right better hobble off to work before I am late lol!

Have a good day
