I'm all aches and pains today after I fell down a couple of concrete steps
on the garden pat yesterday, whilst hanging out some washing. I had the
presence of mind to curl up and roll when I reached the ground, so I
think I've managed to avoid any worse damage. Didn't bang my head, but
my back and right hip (yes the troublesome one) suffered a bit of jarring.
No visible sigh of any bruising but muscles are feeling a bit stiff. All
I can think of, is that whist I was reaching up to put pegs on the
washing line I stepped off the top step into space with the right leg.
It's only a 6" high step but a large enough drop to start me tilting over
at a more than precarious angle. The distance to the second step is
between 3' to 4' and just enough distance for almost a complete roll
before going over the second step. I think that's the point I caught my
back, after the complete roll. I'm feeling quite a silly Billy now after
doing something so stupid. Just a split second of carelessness.

Oh dear. Hope the aches and pains improve today and there is no hidden
damage.
