Dan, My back is "creaking" for the past few days. They say that your sense starts "creaking" once you start "acting the fool" in your (well over) old age now and then. A few days ago in the sitting room, with the others looking on, I started tickling one of my visiting grandchildren, aged 3. In order to protect himself, he drew up his legs ---- and the heel of one of his shoes banged on the bridge of my nose. Needless to say, I felt the "collision" fairly strongly. The day after that, I jumped off a rock beside the sea, and landed sideways on the pebbles of a beach trying to go playing with my young grandchildren. My back must have suffered a severe strain, and was pretty sore. Yesterday, I was jumping over mudbanks and water pools to show the highest pillar-stone in Western Europe (with ogham cut out writing on one side of it) to a visitor to Eyeries. I got out of bed crippled this morning, with darts of pain all over the lower end of my spine, and aching with pain every time I tried to get up off a chair. I suppose you start getting sense when you are almost 84 !! I guarantee you that I wouldn't go far in the hop, step and jump/triple jump after trying to pull myself out over the side of the bad this morning, and feeling sorry for myself. "Sensible" Riobard. [ I wonder, Dan, how much blood was pumping through my veins at that stage ? ].
