The first of an occasional series of posts highlighting accidents. I am doing this because of the very few odd occasional mishaps which may have befallen me now and again, which has left Sheila under the impression that I may very well be a little accident prone.
Anyway, I was working in the garden, taking down some of the hedge, which I think is trying to compete with the Meikleour Beech Hedge (the tallest hedge in the world). It was a hot day, so I removed my t-shirt. It was thus, stripped to the waist that I was making downward sweeps of the hedge and learned a very important lesson - unprotected stomachs and electric hedge trimmers are not a good mix.
A mere nick of course. I've had worse and I shall survive. I missed the chance of getting a chainsaw last week. I am guessing that Sheila is pretty relieved about that now.
"Very few odd occasional mishaps" eh? Don' you think you MIGHT be underplaying the severity of your tendency to be accident-prone?
ReplyDeleteYou make it sound like I have an accident every day.
DeleteI don't even know how to respond to that.
