Cleaved
What's got nine working fingers and shouldn't be allowed to own a meat cleaver? This guy! 👉🩸😥

Even when you're not remotely ready to think about Christmas yet and yet it keeps getting closer every second.
Even when the house is an absolute shambles and trying to rectify that is one step forward/one step sideways/three steps back/now put your hands on your hips and wait, what was I supposed to be tidying again?
Even when the electricity keeps yo-yoing every few minutes as the country continues to be battered by a storm.
Even when you spent most of the evening in the hospital with your injured child and then most of the night habitually getting up just to reassure yourself he's still breathing (he's fine, by the way!).

(for those that are concerned: I've damaged my shoulder, possibly while slipping down a hill in search of a geocache or geohashpoint; so, y'know, the usual reason I get injured... but I've got some physio instructions I'm supposed to follow, and I'll be okay)

Found GC4PYCF Thames Path - Floodproof
This checkin to GC4PYCF Thames Path - Floodproof reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Excellent cache, which I was pleased to observe has the largest conceivable container possible for its hiding place: nice one! I love a good treetop cache!
Once I'd free the right tree, getting up was relatively easy: … -
Zap
This week, a live-to-earth fault on the grid resulted in me getting zapped with mains electricity. Unfortunately, it didn't give me superpowers, just a mildly-interesting anecdote and a partially-shaved chest.

Chafed nipples. But we only have Frozen II themed plasters in the house. So now I'm wearing an Elsa & Anna pasties. How did my life come to this?

Wear Your Cycle Helmet
Today, Dan was involved in a collision between his bike and a car, and sustained minor injuries. But if it wasn't for his cycle helmet, it could have been a lot worse.

Idiocy Repeats Itself
Dan rushes down three flights of stairs to the meeting room where there's free food left over, slips on the stairs, and... hang on: haven't we seen this blog post before, back in 2009?

Content Freeze
After a significant blow to the head, Dan loses the ability to write to his long-term memory for several hours. Hilarity ensues.
