Injuries

Post by TeeferTiger »

So far this weeks, I've accrued 3 bruises (no idea how I got them), 7 paper cuts (bloody sharp D2Ds, most cuts on the knuckles so they doubley sting!!) and I went over on my ankle...

My shoes are making my feet hurt too :(

Still, look on the bright side eh?

Er....
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

You're still allowed to retire when you get old and worn out
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

I was asked, after 2 dog attacks/chases, "Are you afraid of dogs?" I replied no.
Should have replied, No I'm afraid of sharp teeth!
Got 3 little furry babies of my own, Woof Woof!

I've got 40 years until I can retire at the young age of 68.

Actually, no, it's 39 years and one month now. Not that I'm counting or expecting to live that long if I stay with RM (and I don't intend to seeing as I'm actively seeking other employment right now...)

I have accrued a few bruises this week, no idea how I got them, did'nt even notice the one behind my knee the physio spotted it. I also encountered 3 loose dogs and they were no problem, I think this was due to leaving my jacket and hi-vis in the van.
22 years and 1 month to go :cuppa
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
