Not a good week overall. Monday morning la bienheureuse jets off to Germany for the week. Tuesday morning I knacker my back, ironically whilst stretching after doing my back-strengthening morning exersizes. At that stage it was uncomfortable but bearable, and I was able to trundle down to the pub in the evening to watch CSKA Fulham fluke a draw against the Scousers.
Wednesday morning I sneezed and my back almost broke in two. Now I can barely move. You'd have thought I'd know by now that sneezing is the most hazardous activity for congenitally weak spines. From a prone position on the floor manage to watch the evil red empire bore their way to a draw in Catalonia. Enjoyed the penalty miss at least...
Meanwhile I continue fighting the losing battle with the leaking pipe. Said pipe is now almost entirely cased in 'leak-fixing' putty, but as soon as there's any pressure in the pipe a tiny little fountain appears. Bah! But I'm not beaten yet...
There is one glimmer of hope as the weekend approaches. Looks like spring has finally arrived.
