Almost home from a run the other evening and a quarter of a mile from home when a dog in a garden lunged at Mabel who then managed to trip me up with the lead. I went down and smacked my head on the road. Cuts and grazes to hand, knee, and head, bruised finger, and painful ribs. There was a copious amount of blood and a lot of swearing!

Couple of close calls today, but managed to stave them off. Coughing hurts like hell.

Ouch, I remember what cracked ribs feel like. And the doctors smirk as he prodded me and said "Does this hurt?"
Yes it ****ing does.
I fell off my pushbike and slammed into the side of a ditch. I was doing about 30 mph at the time.

Best lay off the gardening too Gary.

That's good - I've had cracked ribs before (my own fault, naturally) and they can take a while - hopefully this means the damage was not too bad.

My gripe - both my wife and I were feeling unwell on Tuesday evening, my wife coughing a bit. We decided to get home tests on Wednesday morning, so book them in at about 8.

They arrive the next day, but at 6pm. Collection is next-day, but you can't book a collection until you've received the shipping labels, and you can't book in after 4pm. So we had to wait until today to book in a pickup for tomorrow, three days after requesting them, and with a 2-3 day turnaround target.

So, chances are we'll get a result on Tuesday, just as our seven-day isolation ends anyway. We were hoping for negative results before the weekend, so we could get out! My wife suggested we could at least have a lie-in, but we now have to be up by 7 to do the swabs and wait for the pickup.

There are many people in a worse position, I know, but this is just a gripe!
