I was walking fast when I tripped over the step into the sitting room. I fell quite heavily dropping the mug of water and ice lolly I had been carrying. I managed to get to the sofa where I ate the lolly whilst considering my condition which I continued to do throughout the day. This morning I have aches and pains all over – in particular, my right elbow and knee. I have never had so many bruises but I am better than I had expected.
