On the bright side.You can keep the key in your pocket and use it to unlock the shopping trolleys at Asda etc. when you haven't got a pound coin.

So Jakko you do the Fascist salute while taking a shower with one leg to the side? Sorry couldn't resist that.
Anyway injuries to skin can be painful with all the nerves around the area. Refrain from peeling when the itchy sensation starts. Mend up.

Cheers,
Richard

Ouch that looks nasty jakko ,hope it heals up quickly . Theres a moral to this story , and thats’ let sleeping dogs lie ’ or rather ‘ let rotting cetaceans lie ‘ it could have been more dangerous if you had gotten to see the whale -

NOTE - anyone with a weak stomach or just eating your dinner , dont watch this video :flushed: :smiling5:

Showering with this injury is mainly difficult because I can really only use my left hand to wash myself with, as I don’t want to risk damage to the wound yet. Water over it is no problem, that smarts a little but that’s it.

I can’t watch that video, it wants me to log in at YouTube and that’s something I’ve so far managed to not do I did smell the whale though — when I was still riding down, slightly before the fall, I thought, “What is that foul smell?” looked around and saw an area cordoned off with a crane inside of it and a lot people around it, so then I remembered the whale … If it hadn’t been for the smell I probably would only have noticed on the way back and likely not fallen …

It was probably the smell and sight of the whale that caused you to fall off in the first place . I mean it's not the normal thing to expect to see is it .:surprised:
Glad you are recovering in body , your mind seems unaffected , so much reading no doubt .

Oh, I knew the whale was there, it had been in the papers, on TV etc. the days before. However, it wasn’t on my mind at all until I smelled the stench and saw the crane and the crowd.

Thanks It was just a minor accident, no point in sitting around moping, becoming frightened of riding a bike, or any of that stuff First thing I did was swear loudly at the grit that made me fall, then I got to my feet, checked my hands and thought, “Oh, I’ll go to the museum, bandage it up there.” The funniest bit, really, was the tourist who came over to help: at one point he put his hand on my shoulder as if to say, “Everything will be fine, don’t worry.” I’m sure he meant well but it seemed totally superfluous to me
