I have broken my thumb. ouch. Was attempting to remove Sidney from a huge pile of bread scraps some idiot had dumped in the park, and got entangled in her rear legs. Hit the deck with a nasty crunching sound emanating from left thumb. After tea & chocolate failed to resolve the situation, took self to Guy's Minor Injuries Unit (which is seriously ace) where they prodded, xrayed, & then sent me home with a huge temporary cast and a hand clinic appt for tomorrow. (Which is all impressively speedy. I love the NHS!)

ANYWAY. Typing one-handed is a bit of a bitch, frankly, esp if you've been touch-typing since age 8 :/ . shall attempt to limit it & save self for upcoming deadlines. hopefully fairly soon I can stop having to keep it elevated & can at least attempt 9-finger typing.
