Not a rib-tickler...

[Pippayoungart]

After my celebratory birthday run high two days before, I came down to earth with a literal bump!

Part of our holiday plans were to do a bit of cycling round the narrow Dartmoor lanes - it was all going so well - until it wasn't. I'm not an experienced cyclist, but by anyone's standards the incident was embarassing to say the least. I was stationary at a junction; relatively flat terrain; no traffic in sight; grassy verge to my left interspersed with large granite marker boulders. I just happened to be in the wrong gear and when I tried to get going, the bike didn't move - I keeled over and my trajectory tipped me straight on to one of the rocks.

Result? Severely bruised ribs and hip. Can't breathe properly and can't run....aaayyyyeeeee!

Ouch! What a nuisance! Poor you. I don't cycle any more. I'm not safe on a bike! Hope you recover quickly. Take care x

I am total kerapp and have a lemming-like leaning to the left for some reason and end up in a ditch 😁☺️ I keep well away from traffic now. Don’t be put off though. You”ll mend 💪👍😃🏃‍♀️

Hopefully you can lie in a beach in the sun And get some healing rays 👍😃

Yes, there’s always the old R&R on the beach cure - no problem trying that one...!
