tonight I type a little more gingerly than usual as you may have guessed from the photo opposite.
You see, hitting the letter 'r' on my QWERTY keyboard now requires a deal of ingenuity and the application of a complicated opposing thumb movement worthy of a professional card-sharp in order to render the smallest of digital imprints on this screen!
It happened on Thursday afternoon - a little light pruning with some garden secateurs that went sadly wrong removing the tip from my left index finger. After two visits to hospital A&E the flow of blood was at last staunched, leaving me nursing an albino, plaster-bound finger-puppet, a pile of crimson-stained bandages and an arm in a sling. Subsequent attempts to determine the likely prognosis for healing have been aborted. Two and a half videos on YouTube entitled 'Severed Fingertip' were quite sufficient, thank you.
But now to happier stuff. Our first trip to Villa Park saw a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Rotherham, bringing to an end a record-breaking fifteen losses on the spin. One-handed clapping proved a challenge, as did my usual match photography. Several shots featuring the ghostly trace of a large white finger-puppet have since been deleted.
Onwards and upwards, as they say, albeit somewhat more gingerly than before!
Yours as ever,
