What did I do in my workshop today? I'll tell you what I did. There I was, just about to attempt an ambitious oval, off-centre platter. All mounted on a faceplate nice and snug, with the headstock at 45 degrees as it wouldn't fit over the lathe bed. Got it spinning at low speed when...
My right leg gave way. Not the lathe's leg. No. My leg. it does it quite often as a result of damage to my lower back. Normally I stumble, sometimes I catch myself, sometimes I fall.
Today I fell. As I fell my arm was caught by the wobbling hunk of wood. Oh, by 'eck that hurt! Anyway. I've been patched up by a really lovely nurse at my local A&E, who kept apologising for hurting me as she cleaned out the wound before expertly making a good repair. The biggest problem? The quote that I have tattooed on my arm will now be interrupted by a 11cm long scar. pipper.
