It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I couldn't very well title my post 'the blow job' that ended in disaster!
Imagine the people visiting my blog and their disappointment if I did.

All that pumping.
I am sure that is what killed my calves.
This...




X two , to be precise, with a measly foot pump.

Misguidedly, I thought it would be great exercise for sliming my calves.
Sadly I am deflated.

Though it could have been the stair climbing. It also wasn't the overnight fix I dreamed of *sigh*.

Then we had to go and purchase life jackets because I am so paranoid least they cast adrift and head out to the ocean. Then the day disappeared on us so we hardly got to use them.

I did walk on the beach yesterday because I had to at least once.

Today, I am still hobbling about like a little old lady. Lesson learned. Smacked that smug look right off my face.

The weather is less than idyllic today, a fierce breeze strong enough to blow the bacon off a BBQ.

Then we heard an ominous thud ...




I mopped up blood and tears while hubby looked up a Dr's surgery, 6 calls later we got lucky.

It did need one stitch and I convinced the Dr my boy would be fine. We didn't need a drive and long wait at the hospital 20 mins away. The Dr said he was very good and he'd never seen a boy like him.

Thankfully it wasn't worse.
He is fine now and we are off to build sandcastles if we find somewhere out of the damn wind.

How has your week been ?
Is Friday your favourite day of the week ?

ouchies! that looks really sore and I bet it bled a LOT! I hate Fridays. I do the late shift Friday, which means finishing at 6 instead of 2. I'd love to do the early and have the afternoon off like tradies!

That looks a bit ouchy! I told my boys when they got cuts like this that their scares are signs of warriors and they should be proud, it worked for them. What I crack up...the blow job that ended in disaster!! So funny, but sorry you have sore calves.

Poor little man. We had our first split eyebrow a week ago. It was the result of a little fall, but onto the edge of the shelf, so it looked dramatic, but turned out not too bad. I was, however, grateful for my MIL's advice to have butterfly strips in the house, so I could tape him up too. I hope the patient recovers quickly x

You made me laugh with your first line! Hope he's doing okay, and that you can enjoy the rest of your holiday! :)

Those boats look like fun though! We have an electric pump for dealing with all the camping beds which would have made fast work of them. Poor boy, I hope he's feeling better

Lucky for him chicks dig scars, eh?

Sorry about your bummer blow job. Nothing worse, I always said.

I just want to cry looking at the expression on his face, what an ouchie. And a compressor would have been much easier for boats, but I'm sure you know that now. Saturday is my favourite day of the week as the Husband works 6 days - BOO - so Friday is just another day around here. But I can't complain because he gets one Monday a month off. Have a super week Trish, Em x

Oh poor little guy. Yes I hate trying to blow anything up and have terrible lung capacity I have concluded. I hope you have a great time and the weather is good. The beach always does a power of good.
We have had a couple of these. Think the amount of blood is what scares them. Hope you found somewhere out of the wind Trish!
