Ohh Tattie!! As I read that I could feel the cold water!! Did you get your baby all dried off? Brrrr...
And yes, I think that was someone telling you that you should be home with a warm pot of tea (or coffee, or hot cocoa, or either w/ a nice shot of the liquor of your choice ).
I had to laugh when I read the word "knackered". Thursday I was dead tired from ironman training, but I headed out on my 20 mi ride anyway. As I was trudging up the hill, my quads mounting a protest along the way, I thought to myself "as those english girls on TE would say I'm knackered, or is it Knockered....." Well this conversation went on in my head for a good 10 minutes. hee hee
Then I said to myself "no, it's knackered... Knockered is what you do when you get fake boobs put on. You get knockered"...
Ahhh sometimes I crack myself up.
Anyhoo, hope the bruises fade soon. Though like a scar, they are a badge of honor you know!! :
