Happy Clappy Time.

โ€ข57 Replies

Whilst the rest of my road were out in their gardens clapping their appreciation of the help given to us by NHS and other workers, I was struggling to pick myself up out of the fireplace covered in blood! The result of pouncing out of my recliner chair without pausing to get my balance first. ๐Ÿ˜† Fortunately very little damage was done but I'm certainly all shookup.

Oh dear Don! Hope youโ€™re ok. Please take care. Love and hugs. Xxxx๐Ÿ˜ขโ˜น๏ธ

I was relying on Elvis there but I don't think he wants to play. Yes I'm OK thanks Carole, just a few years ago I would just have picked myself up and walked away looking embarrassed.๐Ÿ˜‰ At least I can still get to my feet without assistance. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜xx

in reply to skischool

Cor listen to the lad, he's in worse condition than I am and I'm old enough to be his dad! Midge is fast asleep, she didn't even get up to see what all the noise was. Thanks anyway Grasshopper. ๐Ÿ˜Šx

Yes you will think twice about jumping up like teenager.

You will stop to think next time to do it more carefully. I do after my nasty fall very much like yours.โ˜น๏ธ๐Ÿ™„

Very glad to know that no serious damage was done but no wonder it has shaken you. It's not good when we have to learn the hard way not to do something. Hope you soon feel better xx

Oh dear Don, . . . more water with it. . ? I hope it was only a slight injury. Midge, you didn't trip Don up did you? Or are your medications getting mixed up again? ๐Ÿ’Š You need to look after him. Take care Don xxxx๐Ÿค—

At least you didn't trip over the vacuum cleaner cable as I once did, Don, and smash your head off the wall. There is still the dent above the radiator to remind me of how utterly clumsy I was, and sawdust everywhere on my just cleaned carpet!

Oh dear, Don - what a shock for you! Lots of sympathy forthcoming. Did Midge leap to your rescue or look the other way to save your blushes? Seriously, it's horrible when you have any kind of fall, and a real shock to the system, so I hope you've calmed yourself down and have been relaxing today.

I understand we're going to be doing the whole clapping/NHS appreciation thing next Thursday too. Can I suggest you get yourself ready in plenty of time (Wednesday? :D ) and pounce more slowly?

xx

in reply to annienell

I think I'll put a chair in the front garden on Wednesday so that I don't miss it. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Midge was keen to lick the blood up. I think I've been living with a cannibal all these years!๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Not such a good evening, last night then Mr.D ? Beggars belief! Had you totally forgotten yourself and went sort of..... ๐Ÿค”......"woosh"......upright but so quick that the leggs gave in and there you are ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿค• crumpled up in your fireplace?

Poor Midge . Did it scare her ? So how badly bruised is our Rymer then? (but i did have a snigger until i realised you weren't joking๐Ÿ˜œ).๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’•

Oh my. Goodness.

I hope itโ€™s only superficial cuts?

And that you are all sorted out now.

Have you put som cream on your elbow?

You need to get up slowly to let balance and BP settle.

Am sorry to be such a fuss pot.

Just be cautious,last place you want to be is hospital at this time.

I hope Midge wasnโ€™t too traumatised.take care ,both of you.

you were so lucky there was nothing going on in the fireplace, or you'd be BURNING LOVE. far worse than being ALL SHOOK UP. and if you CAN'T HELP FALLING IN (the fender) please miss out next thursday, too.

but so sad you missed the feelgood/solidarity aspect of the clapping. hope that HOUND DOG (is midge a hound dog?) can make up for what you missed.

in reply to hairynosedwombat

Not had an open fire for a long time, I miss it and it would have widened my choice of applicable songs as you pointed out. Midge is a Jack Russell who thinks she's a hound dog.

hairynosedwombat profile image
hairynosedwombat

aah, singing in front of an open fire would be a very cheering thing right now. although i suspect that hound dog of yours would join in and deafen us all.

Not what you're looking for?
