After my TMax was stolen on my birthday, I finally got it back after two weeks of waiting for the police to do their forensic stuff. They told me the damage was a broken mirror and some scratches. It was way more than that. I'm now waiting on a visit from an engineer from the insurance company to assess the damage but fully expect it to be a write-off.
To cheer myself up and clear my head I went out for a cycle ride this morning. Four miles into it and a patch of wet leaves saw me hit the floor. Once I got up I thought I'd probably broken my collar bone. I was able to ride home though.
My favourite cycling shorts now have a big hole in them and I need a new cycling helmet too. The good news is the bicycle seems to be fine.
A trip to A&E and despite first appearances, lots of arm movement, an X-ray confirmed a broken collar bone. It's the left side which is fortunate as I'm right-handed.
I've now officially had enough of this year,

Oh good grief. What bad luck, I'm so sorry.
My advice is stay indoors but well away from the kitchen (most dangerous room in the house!).

Re: I'm not having a good time
With Black Friday so close, now would seem the ideal time to buy a mini fridge to keep beside your chair, strictly on health and safety grounds of course!
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
