ooops...
I managed to fall down the stairs this morning. Fortunately I only hurt my left big toe. I really must have given it a wrench because it is all swollen and bruised. I can still move it quite easily so I am pretty sure it is not broken. Mrs McMuffin has tried to persuade me to go to hospital to have it x-rayed just in case, but why bother with that when I already know it is okay. We live in an old Victorian house, and I have often thought about falling down those stairs. My first thought when I fell, after the usual curses, was what would have happened if I had been carrying Babycake?

I fell down the stairs a couple of weeks ago. I have a dodgy knee and it just gave way from under me whilst taking the top step. I fell about 5 or 6 steps before I grabbed the rails and arrested my fall. Similarly, I wondered what would have happened if I'd had Charley in my arms, as I often do carry him up & down stairs.

Mr McMuffin, I'm sure you would have shielded him with your arms and body, with no thought to protecting yourself from the fall. But please don't put it to the test, as you might land on your head. And no-one wants that.
