I fell into the living room last year. Ended up with a black eye. :laugh: I was lucky that my head didn't hit a wooden writing bureau we have.
It was either kick Molly or fall over her! That’s what I get for playing tig with a cat :laugh: She likes to chase me and grab my legs then I have to run after her and she runs away pretending she’s scared but is purring. Lol

I fell off my Brommie on the way back from the pub, does that count?

Reminds me of my dad telling me about my uncle way back before drunk driving seemed to be particularly illegal! He had often had so much that he could barely walk to his car but always seemed to manage to drive it home safely, then almost fell out of it when he got there!

I've been for a 6 mile walk
I have promised my bubble pal a sunny walk this afternoon. It will only be about 3/4 of that distance, but a little hill will make up for it... :whistle:

A walk in to Poole to pick ip some paint from Wilko. We walked around the bay again as it was such a lovely morning, and detoured through the RNLI Headquarters and along the Quay. The Port of Poole is still very much a working Port, with the juxtaposition of The dockside cranes offloading materials right next to Sunseeker where the Yachts are made.

I fell out of a friends car once, Xmas eve, he was sober but I'd had a skin full, I fell over the seat belt getting out the car and ended up in a heap on the pavement.

Our Excise Officer was fond of visiting a local hotel bar. He drove home carefully one evening and went up a steep hill to his house but the car stopped half way up for some reason. He put it in gear and released the clutch and the car lurched forward and stopped again. Repeat several times. He got out to investigate, fell over the seat belt and broke his arm. Turned out he had driven over a large boulder which was used as a precaution when buses were parked on the hill and the car was balanced midway perched on this boulder.Try to move forward and the back wheels rose up and lost traction.:laugh:
There was another occasion when his clutch would not work and he could not engage gears. Best to use the clutch pedal and not the brake pedal as the local garage pointed out next morning.:wacko:
