Today was the day of the duck race and i was really excited. My partner and i were ready to go, and i was just opening the curtains when i fell through the floor! We had been doing some work on the house and a couple of floor boards had been taken up in the bedroom, i had completely forgotten about them, and hadn't been watching where i was putting my foot. Thankfully i didn't break my leg which was my first though, but it was more pain than i had felt in a very long time. Also, nobody was underneath where i had put my foot through the front room ceiling, otherwise there would have been more than one casualty.

The worst thing is though as i was in so much pain and couldn't walk properly, i had to miss the duck race, poor me. To console myself I'd like to think it was called off, not because i wasn't there, but because the weather was so terrible, and i know that ducks (especially rubber ones) love rain, as the saying goes, but i think that even they would have struggled with the weather today.

Anyway, over the next few days we will see just how much my leg swells up and how many colours of the rainbow it will go!
