Do you sometimes find yourself tripping when walking..?

[sarah_orange]

Yesterday I became a shambling, stumbling loon. I *kept* tripping over my own feet to the extent that I fell up the escalators at leeds station in the morning (not too bad thankfully) and then I properly fell up the steps at burley park station in the evening resulting in sore knees. My previously pristine shoes that I'd been wearing to work for 2 weeks are now all scuffed from the number of times I tripped up kerbs or just scraped my toes whilst walking! No idea what was wrong with me - I didn't physically feel bad. Went home and even the Wii Fit was registering this strange uselessness - I couldn't do any of the tests and ended up at 41 years old - I usually register at about 33!

Oddness!

Anyhoo. Easter is LOOMING like a giant loomy thing. I left it deliberately unfilled so I could have some pottering downtime but it's started to fill up regardless. Thursday night after tkd I should be hitting the pub with Beckie, Friday is boardgames with Mavis I think, Saturday I'm off to see Bat for Lashes with Whitby Jo (theoretically) and Sunday is Easter Flock. I expect Monday will be groaning and recovery.

So who's coming to EASTER FLOCK? (Easter Sunday 7pm - 2am free in)

yesterday i tripped over a kerb and upon trying to recover from that i tripped over myself, and in the process of trying to protect my guitar i head butted a lamp post.

Well you know my answer :(

And my balance seems to be better than normal... considering how i perform on Wii fit this is an achievement ;)

I was going to go for option D, but I didn't want to fib. Both of my legs are still attached, and I am far too awesome to live in Leeds. I also feel that 'Crikey' is a very underused word.

Phwooooar.. Crikeeeeeeey

Please note that it is the latter! I need new legs (or my original ones, the ones I had before the hip and thigh fairy came to visit!)

What is it with people falling up/down escalators at the moment? I had two old ladies fall onto me in the St Johns Centre within 5 seconds of each other a couple of weeks back, and in the last week I must have seen about 4 people throw themselves around the one in the train station.

It's like Leeds has a collective inner ear infection.

Substitute 'legs have dropped off' for 'dissertation has stolen my social life' :(

I am constantly with the tripping idiocy. Usually over my own furniture. You'd think I'd know where it was by now...

I am currently working on a masterplan... it depends on the weather, and a very, very shiny and very, very black motorcycle ;-)

tempting... do you have crash space? does public transport work on easter weekend? can i be seen out in public? will i stop being miserable for an entire night? ooh the questions are endless...

[prosperine.livejournal.com]

YES!!! i also have a "pla ..." for sunday knightage! (after which it would just be really rude not to flock really wouldnt it)

maybe I've infected you from afar with my terrible clumsiness, I've been surprisingly free of falling over, apart from slipping in the bath, stubbing my toe on a box, slipping in the merrion centre... etc... which is a small amount for me

I think we will be around for the Flock as the Armories, 'Knight baiting' sounds a good laugh and as Pru said it would be almost rude not to.

I think we may have bribed ourselves crash space in the Sir Fuzzlington Smythe suite. Well we are delivering his birthday present ;o)
