Volition

Well it had happen; the first really painful stack on my skateboard. It made perfectly good sense at the time, skating down through the carpark after an hour and a half of karate, the day after throwing a cocktail party. The problem of course being that the car park asphalt is a coarse as, well, a really coarse thing and that to skate down it requires some energy, reflexes and skill. None of which I have at the moment.

So at high-speed, the board suddenly stops, I counter not only too late but with far too much force, sending the board flying off into the distance and me flying to the ground. My right-hand thigh, elbow and hand are now bloody and bruised. Yay!

The cocktail party last night was fun, though! Thanks for everyone who came along. Now that it is getting warmer, I'm thinking Soup Day should get replaced by Cocktail Night, and that people can come around and enjoy the view from my balcony and help finish off all the drinks they brought around. Mmm... Gibsons...
