Well, you can tell that it’s the thirteenth of the month. I hadn’t gone ten steps out of my door this morning before my feet went out from under me on the black ice. I landed on my side, squashing my arm underneath me which resulted in a fracture of my radial head (part of the mechanism that joins up yr. forearm to yr. elbow). So now here I am lying in bed – where i’ve been for most of the post-hospital waiting room day – with the arm of my writing hand confined to a sling, prodding out todays blog entry one letter at a time with the fingers of my left one. Not ideal but it’s home sweet home for the next ten to forteen days… and I still think I got off lightly compared to some of the bizarre angles at which I saw other people’s arm bent in the waiting room. More prolific service will hence be resumed as sson as possible.
On a slightlier happier note… never realised this track had a video. A friend of mine put it on a mixtape for me about five years ago and I’ve been in love ever since. Enjoy, and be careful if you go outside anythime between now and the end of February.
