i did my washing and when it was finished i found i hadn't put any washing liquid sachet in the machine cue doing a repeat cycle (with the washing liquid sachet this time DOH!
Took the polystyrene from between the plates of the new maglock.
Probably should have checked that it was set up with the swipe cards, it locked before school started and remains so now🙄.
I used AI to generate an image of me doing Doctory healing types of things, and now everyone's taking the piss.
I managed to knock my laptop off its standing into a freshly peanut buttered bagel before and knocking a cup of tea over the keyboards.
The subsequent teabagelpb mess was going to take some cleanup so i offered the laptop to the dog to lick clean.
Not worked out today's Wordle , of all the answers! 🙄
Ahahahaha. Yeah that had to sting oldfart.
Wow, even with three letters on the 6th guess i was struggling.
Same as oldfart and Josh. I was on my last Wordle guess this morning when it dawned on me. I actually used my full name on myself, (like the wife does when I'm in trouble), I was that mortified.
The shame. 😳
Not specifically today but...
Went to my local A&E at 19:15 last night as the pain in my pelvis is getting excruciating after a fall in the Peak District last weekend. I'm still here.
Hopefully I'll see a doctor soon as I need to be in work ASAP.
I once tried waterboarding myself in the bath with a face cloth, to see how resilient I was to torture.
When I was a kid, I figured that if I practiced breathing through a wet flannel for long enough, I'd be able to breathe underwater like Patrick Duffy – The Man from Atlantis.
No, it didn't work.
Rode to work and forgot my phone. That'll be handy if something goes wrong on the way home. What an idiot. I can almost remember putting it in my bag too. I've probably dropped it in the garden or some dumb moronic thing like that. I need a good slap.
Oh yeah, another good one today - I had to use a different camera on the bike because the last one got crushed. Got one out the drawer, battery ok so spent the first 10 minutes of my commute time finding the right clamp and fixing it to the bike. Rode to work. Just checked it to see if it had been working and there's no memory card in the slot. Doh.
@ThePinkster - ask for a CT Scan as X-rays can be useless - don't ask how I know...
Broke pelvis and hip socket very badly. So badly, had it been found at the time (it was hit and miss 6 weeks later when they found all the fractures..) I'd be sporting a complete hip replacement.
Cheers @fossy & @MoreCashThanDash. The doctor was very good and thorough once I got to see him at about 8:45 (as a side note - are they employing doctors straight out of school these days because they don't half look young) and had loads of x-rays. It turns out that what I initially thought was a bit of bruising & tissue damage is in fact a minor pubic rami fracture. Eventually got away at 10:25 with some codeine and now back in the office, working hard on my phone 😉
Cheers for your concern, it's much appreciated.
I stood in the dogs water bowl and filled my slipper with water. I now have one cold foot
@ThePinkster, I'll raise you two pubic rami fractures, three hip socket fractures, of which one ran up the length of my 'wing'. Here is the one they weren't too bothered about.
I planned a long lunch from 11.30-13.00 to go to the gym while it was quiet. 11.15 a colleague messaged me wanting a call to discuss a case. I rang him back.
I did not get to the gym.

**** me, you did a good job there!
It were these big ones in the hip socket they were bothered about... the upside down brown V shape by the left socket - you are looking front on from the right (you can also see part of the wing crack) . These images are 6 weeks after. I'd been on two three hour flights (the week after) and hobbled back to work.
Lordy. That looks nasty 😲
Blimey, that had to sting...
I apparently have an exceptionally high pain threshold so that's why the docs didn't see too much from the X-rays - had I been screaming the CT Scan would have been done. They were astounded when I came back 6 weeks later (walked in) saying it's still rather 'sore'. So dumb stuff does happen !
Drove to Letchworth for work today, which in itself isn't dumb apart from my wife having driven there last night to get her brother to sign some paperwork & I could have saved her the 100 mile round trip 😞 question is, will it be dumb to fess up or should I keep shtum
Making coffee this morning i started lol pour the water into the coffee can
Stupid overtake on the (motor)bike - no need and put myself in danger. Not crazy but silly enough that a proper motorcyclist would have shook their head.
Spilt a Coffee in Corals by leaning back on a chair.Worst thing was somebody saw me do it.
Didn't properly attach my abseiling device before stepping off the top of the cliff. 36 years climbing and still capable of gross stupidity. Got away with it but it's not hard to imagine a different outcome.
I'm guessing you had to fib at A&E pinkster ? I always thought if it was for something that happened a week or so ago they would put you to the bottom of the waiting list unless you say i fell off my bike earlier today
Edinburgh royal infirmary at 3am on a Sunday is an eye opener and always polis hanging about for hours

I had a similar thing about 40 yrs ago. It's a very sobering thing. Hope you're feeling ok. It took me a while to deal with tbh.

I'm fine, I actually noticed it in a non serious position but it does make you think how easy it is to get stuff wrong. I was using a gri-gri as I was top-rope soloing and although I haven't used one to abseil for years I have done so a lot in the past. I think it was the novelty that was the problem, using a different device meant I didn't go through the usual checks.
Got out of bed at 4.30am

Saw a friend abseil with the fig 8 still on a gear loop, not the belay loop. She got away with it, but it made me think hard about things. One change I made was to ALWAYS carry a decender/belay device on the rear gear loop, so you have to move it and so can't accidentally leave it clipped in the wrong place.
