10 September 2010 18:0769803There were some really nice people about in Dover this morning.
I had a fall outside Boots which was most embarassing.
I was helped up by three really kind gentlemen, no easy matter as I am no light weight. Even the onlookers were concerned going by their faces.
My work colleagues have also phoned to see if I am OK, they found out because I popped into the shop to have a sit down on the way home.
If any of you call into the shop tomorrow I am the one who has the black eye and a limp.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Put a steak on it!

10 September 2010 18:2869815Thank you all for your comments at the time I just wanted the pavement to open and swallow me up, I felt such a fool .
I think I will eat the steak Paul, I hate to see good food wasted.

- 11 September 2010 06:4269888You could always eat the steak after you've put it on your eye Jan.
A well-known District Councillor fell over/tripped in Town a few months ago and she hurt herself quite badly; a registered blind lady fell over an A Board and ended up in hospital for 4 weeks, so it can be a dangerous place.
Hope the outward signs fade quickly Jan, I'm sure any inner feelings (of pain, embarrassment etc.) have already gone.
Roger - 11 September 2010 07:2469893Hope you are doing ok Jan.

12 September 2010 10:1770057Yes, thankyou Jeane. I had a touch of delayed shock at the shop yesterday and was sent home but feel fine today. I do have a cartoon black eye, the family are taking bets on whether it will make the complete circle or not. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
