Best foot forward!

Well that was a bit of a weekend wasn't it! As some of you will of seen, me and the Wonderful Lady T spent a large portion of our Saturday at A&E with son number 2. He had twisted his ankle rather badly (or should that be rather well?) and was in so much pain he couldn't bear to put any weight on it. So off we trundled to Hayward Heath, to sit in the waiting room for a few hours. When he was eventually seen, we then shuffled off to go get an X-ray. Then after a little bit more waiting, we were once again herded into one of the little curtained off examination cubicles, and told it was definitely a sprain. We were then given strict instructions that he had to keep trying to walk on it and that he wasn't allowed to do any cycling, running or sports for the next two weeks. After which we made our escape back to normality. Phew! To be honest it was nice actually spending some proper time with him, as we normally hardly ever see him.

To be fair to him, yesterday he seemed to be coping with it rather well and was making superb efforts at tentatively walking on it again, without too much moaning. Of course I'm doubting he will be quite so keen to prove his wellness with school looming this morning. Still, I suppose you have to try your luck at 14 even if it usually doesn't get you anywhere.

Well that's all behind us now, and Monday is upon us once more. So once more, it is time to turn to face the way ahead, take a deep breath and take the first tentative step into the new week sprawling before us. Although do prepare yourselves for a hot one, as it does promise to be another rather gloriously warm Sunshine filled day. I would suggest having a 'wear nothing to work day' but to be honest I fear we may get funny looks if we tried it, and there are certain places that none of us want to get sun burnt. Plus rubbing Factor 50 on those places in front of colleagues is normally frowned upon. So probably best to go for the usual loose fitting garments that these conditions call for.

Right! Well, as they say best foot forward people! (In son number two's case, that'll be his left foot) See you all tomorrow.
