Comedy accident
-
The wind's blowing up a real storm today - About 20 minutes ago I heard a big crash, and our two wheelie-bins had blown over.
I went outside to fix them, and was moving one around to the side of the house. A massive gust of wind blew the lid up - smacked me right in the nose. Blood everywhere. It doesn't appear to be broken (the nose, not the bin lid), but it hurts like a bastard. At least it's still straight. I had visions of looking like Owen Wilson.
I was only joking

Ugh. Noses do tend to bleed, don't they?
Glad you're (basically) OK.
Did Mrs. Phibes at least get a chuckle out of it?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

She didn't appreciate the blood I trailed into the house, but it seems to have washed out ok. My son thought it was hilarious, so unlike me he won't be getting any alcohol this evening.
The nose has swollen up a bit at the top, but is ok apart from a bit of bleeding.
All I can say is that it's a good job I'm so stoic.

Should've milked the ailments for a ticket on the Early Happy-Hour Express.

I hate it when winds cause things to fly out of place and make noise. Hate it more when they make noise and cause injury.
I commiserate and empathise with you. Today whilst blowing snow from my back patio with the jet engine leaf blower, a snow shovel took wings and smite me most vicious.

I think it might have been the other fella hiding in my bin.

Hey, Phibes . . . how's the schnozz this morning?
A bit sore - I woke up with a streaming left eye at 3am this morning, which could be a side effect of the clout, or could be because it's so dry - it was about -10 degrees this morning. My nose has been streaming all morning, but at least it's not bleeding any more.
However, mustn't grumble. I'm going saxophone shopping in 15 minutes....

@Doctor-Phibes I was laughing and feeling sorry for you all at the same time. 555
