A day on my back.
May. 23rd, 2010 10:30 pmI have just spent the entire day on my back/ knees, This is what happens when we get actual sun in Wales - we all go crazy. First part of the day was spent visiting my god-parents and their daughter, who is a close friend of mine, and we had a grass stuffing down clothing contest, because we are that mature.
Interval with a BBQ.
Get home. Promptly two of my neighbours ask to borrow a tool-kit. I acquiesce and am soon watching them fix a bike. I help by flicking water at them and wrestling with their 180 pound dog (huuuuge Lab). I get beaten soundly by dog - he sits on me and ends any further movement. I'm not small (5'7) but I have little upper arm strength.
During this, the bike is fixed! I promptly get tackled by Scott, neighbour one, onto the lawn of my house and we spent the next while wrestling (no, actually wrestling) whilst Jake, neighbour two watched serenely on. This goes on for a while, and Jake starts talking to neighbour 3, Sam, about particle physics. Highlights include the dog biting me, me managing to beat Scott for all of a minute yelling "I'M ON TOP!" and realising all the people in the park at the end of our street are steadfastly ignoring us, ushering their little ones away. Oops.
I have been picked up, dropped, pushed over, all parts of my anatomy used as a pillow, picked up again, wrestled with two men and a dog at the same time - I was on the bottom... why am I always on the bottom? They were both at least 6'2 and I heard my spine click several times. I'm now cleaning gravel out of my clothes, grass out of my hair and grass-stains out of my knees - the bruises tomorrow should be interesting.
SO MUCH FUN. I feel like Cloud in the middle of Zack and Sephiroth.
