First – many, many thanks to those who sponsored Greenbud and I to do the fun run last Sunday. Greenbud really enjoyed it:

And so did I – for about a mile and half – seemed a good idea to run with the buggy!

And then disaster struck. I trod on the back wheel of the buggy – and this was the result (look away now if you’re squeamish):

Ouch

Once the pain had subsided the realisation set in that I had done the one thing I didn’t want to do – injure myself and therefore be unable to play football. The irony of the fact I did it raising money for a football pitch is not lost on me. To say I am gutted is an understatement. I am also the only member of the family not to have a Fun Run finishing medal. A point that has been made several times in recent days.
