Don't worry I'm okay,

 but there is no story today, hands are hurting quite a bit, so typing isn't easy. 

I had a fall yesterday while hurrying to catch the bus that was right there, wasn't flat out running, but two hurried almost running steps and down I went. 

Blood everywhere! I think I scared a few people when I got on the bus looking like I'd been in a fight.


head gash which bled like a stuck pig, but stopped before I got off the bus


left hand all scraped plus fingertip cuts


right hand scraped plus fingertip cuts.

this was just after I cleaned up with disinfectant and before I applied bandaids.

** there may be no Sunday Selections this week if the hands still hurt.**

    Oh my goodness, bless your heart ❤️ 💙 💜 Sometimes it isn't worth running for a bus, but I totally understand, because I take public transit here in Montreal and I have also run to catch a bus.
    I am glad you are okay. Take time to rest and heal,dear friend.

    Oh dear! That must have been a hell of a shock Elsie. The wounds look fairly superficial but that was a nasty gash on your forehead. Sure it doesn't require some stitches? A week from now I hope you will be back to normal. Let the bus go in future. There will be another one soon enough.

    Oh bother. I hope you mend quickly. head and fingers always bleed like crazy. I also think that head gash need - if not stitches then Butterfly adhesive strips - my universal remedy for all those wounds.

    Older age has some unfortunate consequences. Everyone falls over from time to time, but we look worse when the bleeding stops:(.

    Be well.

    Oh my, R. The cut looks a bit deep and the hand, oh dear me. Unnerving to fall.
    Speedy recovery and thinking of you.

    Sh##!!!! You look like I did when my hands and chin found a glass bottle in the dark! Oh hallelujah - you went to see a surgeon, right? Ingo dragged me to one and they sew the wound up AT.ONCE - I fell 06:55 a.m. and called Ingo at 12:00, was like donating blood all the hours and I was all dizzy - thinking that heals by itself, just pressing the "flesh" tight - no! You went to see medical help, right? Oh, shoot! You´re in my thoughts... heart, you know, what I mean...

Sunday Selections #757

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Beginning today with a few photos of my TV screen, on the news: In the far north, the APY Lands (I think, it was a while ago) the indigenous people held their own Grand Final football match: in the heat and the red dust much fun was had spectators as well as players it was lovely to see, quite a change from the city matches with over-crowded stands and all the cheering and booing that goes on. on another TV show: she really killed...

Words for Wednesday

Image
  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.
