Upstairs downstairs

Murphys law struck again on friday.
Just when everything is going well - yours truely falls down the stairs.
Now its not as bad as it sounds - my foot slipped on the edge of a stair and I skidded to the bottom on my bum, resulting in a sore bum and a carpet burn on my elbow (long time since I had one of those, he he).
However...........
at the bottom of the stairs is the phone socket with very sharp corners and heres me skidding down on my arse feet first.
So there it is, a cut about 1cm with a flap of skin to match on the sole of my left foot, and all my wife was worried about was a few blood spots on the carpet.
Its sunday evening now and although I can walk on it its very sore.
As if marathons weren't hard enough!
