What could possibly go wrong just an hour after crawling out of bed??? Such a nice day I decided to walk to get my paper. I had a choice of routes back. The short or long way. I chose the long way as such a pleasant day. Walking down the tree lined road, I noticed a bloke sawing away at a very large branch overhanging the path. Yes it even crossed my mind that it could fall ,just as I was passing underneath but what would be the chances of that. Anyway I was sure the bloke had taken safety precautions.. So I moved slightly to my left and kept walking.................Yep you guessed it. Just as I passed underneath it came crashing down on my head. Luckily the autumn fall had not affected this tree to much and the leaves ,that were clinging on for grim death, cushioned the blow to my already scarred head. The neighbours either side of him found it quite amusing that just my left arm and the top of my shiny dome were visible beneath this massive foliage? I managed to dig myself out with everything but my dignity in intact. The guy was apologetic to be fair. But I warned him next time to shout 'Timber' at least to give me chance to dive out of the way.
I am staying in for the rest of the day...just in case.
