I have not written lately because I have had mechanical difficulties - which I mean literally.
Here is the update: I had a "traumatic" fall which caused a broken clavicle. For those unfamiliar with the clavicle it is also known as the collar bone. I kid you not, someone thought I broke my back - untrue, thank heavens. You can all vote or make a quiet speculation as to how this occurred. Here are your 3 choices:
1) I was thrown from a bridge table. If you have ever played duplicate bridge with me, you will know this is not as unlikely as it might initially appear.
2) I was thrown from a horse. This, too, is quite feasible. If you have ever watched me ride, you might feel compassion for both the horse and my trainer.
3) I fell out of a tree birdwatching. This option has led to much speculation amongst those who know me and my love of nature. I have fielded questions such as: how high up were you? How did you get in the tree? Was the bird interesting enough to be worth the risk?
As a result of my injury I now sport a brand new plate and 6 adorable screws!
All for now
