Default The Librarians Woes continue!

So before the national dailys' pick it up. Yes, I have broken a rib or two! Having watched the diving at the Olympics I was so enthused that I immediately climbed a ladder up a tree in my garden. While cutting away a branch that impeded my forthcoming triple summersault with two half twist I commenced my dive earlier than planned. 😫
Note to self. Make sure there is more than 2 inches of water in the stream. Move the tree trunk at the side of the strean so one doesn't bounce off it.
Dear readers, you'll be pleased to hear my well trained family shouted casualty, casualty, casualty, call an ambulance and told me I was a t#@t and not expect any sympathy. This was reiterated by the air ambulance team to whom I am deeply greatfull for the morphine, the ambulance crew and the wonderful casualty staff at Derriford. Since being discharged last night the levels of sympathy have continued to drop in good naval fashion.
I have, regretfully withdrawn my bid for the 2020 Olympics and wont now be going to Germany at all!
