    Big hugs - would be round with tea, arnica as well as the understanding ear in RL. 
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    I was watching one of those home recorded DVDs yesterday & it had all the adverts in.  It was interesting for several reasons.  It was recorded about 15 years ago & it was quite surprising how many of those adverts I am sure would never be shown now.  One from a couple of weeks ago has left me with an earworm, remember "Bobbing along on the beautiful briny sea" from Bedknobs & Broomsticks.  But one had a young girl getting dressed up for a party & being all wrapped round in bubble wrap.

    Sorry to hear about more falls 😞 Mr SA is the same as you, once he’s had one you can guarantee more will follow.
