It just got worse


Damn! This is what happens when a hold breaks off when you're climbing, No more routes for me for a couple of weeks :¬(

So Lee climbed this route, and then Paul did too- at last it's my turn, and the 1st hold I use to get off the ground snaps- bam! - I'm on my arse on the floor. "not a good start, are you ok?" says Lee "fine" I shrug, quite unaffected. Back on I climb, and I get about 3 metres up, and- bam! another bloody hold flies off. Now I'm getting annoyed. But then I notice my finger- oh dear, why is it all bloody? Ah, that doesn't look so good, I think I'd better come down. And that's it- my entire days climbing consisted of falling off twice within 3 metres of the ground and injuring myself. Never mind, at least I had some nice pints at the pub tonight with a friend- so the day's not a complete write-off :¬)

Good news; the finger heals well. In addition, I've just collected my mountain bike from it's service - I can't climb easily, so I'll just have to ride really fast down hills instead :¬)
As a hetro, I'm good at damaging parts of my body in courting displays (otherwise known as sports), and I didn't realise there were changes in fashion.....
