A new low

So, I was running a warm-up exercise with my Y12 drama class this morning - and managed, in an exuberant show of energy, to punch myself right in the eye.

My students thought that was suitably hilarious.

It freaking hurt.

I blame Monday morning.

Ouch! It sounds like an impressive stunt though. Has it left you with a black eye?

Only you could manage to punch yourself in the face (accidentally)...

Hope you were playing 'Simon Says' at the time.

Bubba - I WISH I was playing Simon Says ! That would have made the whole thing worth it !
Debz - It didn't give me a black eye, but it can't have been far off ! I don't bruise TOO easily ...but still...

Well, to be honest, you do have form. Injuring yourself is somewhat of a speciality. Remeber those long poi things in Christchurch. I'm just glad I managed to convince you to try them out without setting them alight. Otherwise, I doubt the recent addition to the family would have ever happened.

I like to think that when I do injure myself it is with a little flair !

I remember the pois ( I actually still have them somewhere ) - and that day / moment is etched onto my memory like acid etches a lithograph...
