Ouch!!!!

Not much to report this week really. Had a great day skiing on Friday but towards the end of the day, I had my first big fall of the season (and hopefully my last). I think I was getting a bit overconfident and with conditions deteriorating, it was a recipe for disaster. I came off my skis at a moderate pace and managed to land on the side of my head. Fortunately, I was wearing a ski helmet which took most of the impact. I still have a slight headache, but without the helmet it would surely feel much worse. My neck is badly bruised but I hope it will be fine by next weekend. I don't plan to ski on Sunday because rain is forecast and I think I should let my neck regain its strength.

Wear a ski helmet. Not only do they protect against head injuries, they also prevent people from recognising you when you're lying prostrate on the ski slope. A valuable piece of kit.

Glad you're not to badly hurt (and thanks for the public safety announcement, I won't leave home without my ski-helmet from now on) but doesn't yours make you look a little young and feminine..?

And don't forget to brush your teeth before bed, have plenty of roughage in your diet, and at all times remember to respect your elders.
