We broke up from school on Friday, so Monday was the first official day of the holidays, 
. I planned to get so much done, and top of the list was tying back my rampant blackberry canes. They are thornless, so should have been no problem. It would have been OK if I'd remembered I was standing in a square of angle iron which is part of my patio shelving system. I turned, went to move and OUCH, I caught my foot such a wallop, it immediately started to bruise and swell from the toes right up to the ankle. 
I limped indoors, put the frozen peas on it, and couldn't get any footware on for the rest of the day.
Today, it is painful and swollen, but I managed to go and see the Harry Potter film, minus slippers, and got into the kitchen to cook this afternoon. Cinnamon bread, bread rolls and blackberry pie from last years berries later, I had some pastry left over. DD loves jam tarts, so that took care of that. I got them out of the oven, and some had boiled out, so I decided to move them before they welded to the tin. Big mistake, boiling jam cascaded over 3 fingers on my left hand. I ran them under the tap, and then sat for about 30 minutes with them in water. I called OH on the intercom phone, and he made me a cuppa, and brought me a chair, but hasn't offered to make the curry I was planning on for dinner. With blisters on 2 out of the 3 fingers, one which has popped, I don't think I will bother tonight, we have bread to eat
Tomorrow he said I must stay in bed all day, but then I will probably suffocate
