Cuts n Bruises
What a crap couple of days! It's not very often I'll say that, being a generally cheery optimistic half-glass-full kind of guy.
Friday night riding my bike home from work, my tyres got caught in a tram track and sure enough, off I came over the handlebars to a skidding halt. Nothing broken, but some nice grazes and bruises on my knuckles, knees and elbows. My shirt was nice and shredded and my handlebars will need some coaxing back into position too. Ack.
And then today I go to put up the curtains in our bedroom, and clumsy idiot me smashes the glass dome surrounding the light switch with the curtain pole, so that a dozen shards of glass come crashing down on top of me. A few cuts here and there for my trouble. Of course not all of it came down, so I had to remove the remaining broken glass from the light socket, and succeeded in slashing my wrist in the process. Unbelievable.
Grrr.

Stay safe

Don't forget the 4 personality types
1. Glass half full
2. glass half empty
3. er... what was the question again?
4. Hey! I ordered a cheeseburger!
those dreaded tram tracks are the undoing of 1000s of cyclists in melbourne each year. grrr!
i avoid them as much as possible or just bunny hop them, especially in the wet.
glad to hear you were not badly injured.
