I had a sculpting mishap today; plugged in my curing lamp and the bulb blew. As did all the fuses in the room, four people's computers lost power and everyone had to take an early lunch 
I'm hiding out at home now, but have to go back in to see if its fixed.

Whoops!!

The nurse gave me some plastic thing to squeeze on, to see if that would increase the speed of the flow....It didn't.

Would it have helped if you had inflated it first?

Gosh! That stopped everyone in their tracks. Oh, well ....

You'd have all been proud of me yesterday.

I rode one of Mrs T's gee-gees up and down, in the barn, last night...So Mrs T could see if he still had a problem on a back leg.
AND I DIDN'T FALL OFF !!....(Even though I had a great deal of trouble getting one of my wellies out of a stirrup.)

Nice to know Celtic horse-mastery is still alive and ... erm ... not kicking?

Fascinated by the horses going up and down. What height can they obtain?

Sadly we shall never know, since it was in a barn, it could only go as high as the ceiling.

'Bout 18 feet, then.

So the question is, does the horse care if you are on its back? Or does it jump the full 18 feet? 

I'm so light, I don't think the horse even notices when I sit on his back.

Cheers - Phil

So does it jump only once, or do you bump your head repeatedly?

Quotehe was involved in a motor bike accident. He was 'bombing' along (probably about 30 mph) when he reached an unmarked crossroads. Being him, he did not slow down. A car appeared from the side just as he was about to cross the crossroads. He hit the wing of the car, flew over the bonnet and landed on the road on the other side of the car, leaving the bike behind ...... and his shoes. Apart from a few bruises, he was O.K.

Similar thing happened to a police motor cyclist I knew a few years ago, he was driving down the road when someone pulled out in front of him.  Brian hit the side of the car, went over the top and landed in the road. 

When the driver rushed up Brian opened his visor, looked up and said, "Call and ambulance.... and you're f*****g knicked!"

About ten years ago when I gave blood I finished in 5 minutes and was told that I was a quick bleeder, at the time I wasn't sure whether or not I'd been insulted but the next statement made me stop and think. It was suggested that I get my blood pressure checked...I've been on tablets ever since! Still can give blood though which is really weird because I can't even watch needles on the TV let alone sticking in me, I always have to look away.

Saw a video Fbook the other day with a motorcyclist going straight in the back of a moving car. He flipped over the handlebars, did a quick somersault and ended up sitting on the roof of the car which was still moving!

I've called the RSPCA - cruelty to riders....

I've found a new way to draw blood from a digit, today. 

Carefully remove a (rat) snap trap from one of the chicken runs.
Investigate why it hasn't gone off properly.
Swear loudly when it does go off, and bites the base of your thumbnail.
Drill carefully through the nail with a 0.5mm bit, three times, now.

Mop up released blood.

Cheers - Phil.

Attach transfusion drip to arm ?

I've said it before and I'll say it again ...




Hope you're OK.
