The klutz was out and about again

 

     So there I was running the trimmer around the edges of the yard and the garden when I ever so neatly landed on my butt.  Yep, the klutz was out and about again today.  This time I tripped over the two bricks and the hose that extend from the filters for use while back washing the pond filter.  The hose spewed a bit of water so my pants were also wet.  I looked lovely. 

     Yes, there are bruises.  I have one on my butt, and another on my arm that I have no idea how I got one there.  I’m betting by tomorrow there will be more.  Not to mention the stiff muscles I’ll discover that I never knew I had.  I narrowly missed spraining an ankle, again.  I’m ever so glad no one saw me fall it couldn’t have been pretty.

     Falling once was bad enough, but not five minutes later, I almost repeated the same pratfall on the same two bricks and hose.  By now, I think I hold the klutz queen crown firmly within my grasp.  Next time I’m moving the bricks and hose before I begin to trim.

     However, with my luck I’ll find something else to fall over.  I’m taking odds on that.

  1. My first response was, “move the bricks” then I saw you say that next time you would, lol. I take it those bricks are there for a reason? If not, a permanent move might be in order.

    Yep, the bricks hold the hose off the ground that’s connected to the filter to keep the hose from killing the grass underneath it. The hose is for backwashing the filter and a real PITA to remove and put back in the filter…

  2. Remind me never to let you carry anything explosive.

    And maybe you’d better keep TNT and C4 out of the hands of Linnie and Maddie as well!

    I’ll be sure to remind you of that. 🙄
