´óÏó´«Ã½

Medical opinion seems to be edging towards the idea that my recent back injury was probably not caused by suddenly reaching for a kettle after all, but was instead down to my slovenly and lazy habit of thrusting keys, coins, wallet and phone into the back pocket of my trousers. A few months ago I bought a new pair, attracted by the very large "cargo" pockets, and have unwittingly been sitting at a computer or steering wheel at an unnatural angle. The blinding flash of pain caused by my ungainly lunge in the kitchen was, apparently, simply the last straw. In any event recovery now seems to be well on track.
