Good afternoon quite a nice day up here sunny with one or two showers. This does not seem to be my week at all, the saga of the bathroom continues with a leak in the new radiator not a big leak but a drip drip. The water pressure seems to be getting worse so will have to phone the plumber tomorrow to see what can be done.
As I was saying in my last entry there has been an awful mess with the bathroom going in and I had to wash the varnished stairs on Thursday after the plumber had left. I said to Stuart later I thought the steps had become very slippery and could not understand why as it was just water on the mop. Yesterday afternoon I was coming downstairs when my feet went from under me and I fell very heavily on my hip and back. Poor Stuart must have got the fright of his life as I was screaming with the pain I have never felt pain like it in my life it was horrific. Stu ran to help and calmed me down and managed to get me upright on the step I just sat there till the pain eased. I really thought I had broken something but all seemed well after the worst of the pain eased off a bit. Today I have the most gorgeous bruise about the size of a dinner plate but it is not nearly as bad as it could have been. Managed a short walk this morning but the rain came on and made us turn back, pity, as I was enjoying it. Not much else to say today today and hope nothing else happens for the moment enough is enough. Maybe the new month will change the run of things. Stu always thinks the 1st of March is the beginning of Spring, certainly hope so. till next time Love,
Joan.

Ouch I once fell like that on the stairs it hurt for months afterwards and you get such a fright!
We once had problems with water pressure after a plumber visited. It was as it turned out easily fixed - the plumber hadn't turned the stop cock on again properly. Two turns and it was fixed. Might be worth getting Stuart to check them all.
I'm glad to hear you are ok after taking that fall on the stairs. That is one of my worst fears. I always hold the hand rail going down. I do hope the plumber gets it right for you and finally all will be as it should. Take good care ! 'On Ya'-ma
Joan glad to know you didn't break any bones ~ it comes as a shock when you fall down stairs ~ Hope the plumber fixes that leak for you without any more problems ~ Ally x

Ouch Joan, taking a tumble like that, thankfully nothing worse than bruising, but rest up as much as you can. Lets hope the bathroom gets done this week as well as the leaky radiator.
Take care

ps Jan's right Peter robinson is very good I've read a few of his.
Oh my goodness Joan! Thank heavens nothing was broken!!!
I think that you have had more than your share of really rotten events. Thank goodness you didn't break a hip. Looking forward to seeing more beautiful pictures of Scotland. I am using the snowdrop picture as a screensaver, and it is beautiful.
