My latest cast
I washed the floor at my place ready for the BBQ thus weekend. Not used to such a clean floor, I had got used to that sawdust/dust grip on the floor
. Next thing I know I'm on my side with sore ribs and a broken wrist

Wow! a real human blank, first it needs cutting to size, by the look of that we could get 20 slimlines or 10 Emperors, I wonder if it was cross cut whether it would look better!
Conversely, since you are out of action, send all conkeberry this way!!
Then again, sure hope you heal quickly, sorry to see that happen- remember- keep it dirty!!!

Hmmm and sawdust on the floor would have cushioned your fall, you'll know better next time. Good luck, hope it heals up quickly.

Ouch!
At least the tube isn't showing through.
At least you can load up on the icecream and milkshakes to get that calcium level up
Get well soon!
