Mud in your eye ?
« on: October 27, 2007, 03:20:04 pm »
a day of decorating - the hall downstairs, and upststairs too
a day of ladders, of extreme care, watching the balance,
then.....it happened ...a full cup-full of poly-filler (for plaster cracks ?)
- straight into the "non-blink" eye - when on top of  a ladder ? ooouucchh!
Down the ladder with eyes shut - then wash out in the bathroom
In the end - only the night lube took the pain away
The moral:
1) dont take liberty`s - even Gabriel has a Tea-Break...
2) always keep extra night-lub close to hand
- you never know when you will need it !
Yours (the un-insurable)
Tony

I went up a ladder once since surgery (& recently) - pretty scary !

Ouch!

Gee I think maybe I will lay off the interior decorating projects for a while... maybe I should just hire someone to finish the unpainted trim etc...

I hope you are ok now!?!
