Going on holiday

 Hi there

I've just booked to go back to Las Vegas next year.  Hope there will be nothing to stop me going.  A friend pointed out that either just before or during my holidays, I always get some sort of injury*.

He's not wrong.  I've had a plethora of sprained ankles and knees, gone deaf in one ear, black eyes from falling over a curb, at an airport I got an explosion in my leg that left me limping for two weeks, there's been foot blisters a-plenty, have come down with lots of colds, broke my hand, got dehydrated, you-name-it....  Oh, and not to forget the time I'd had a cataract operation just before leaving for Las Vegas and had to take 15 eye drops a day during that holiday, all the while trying not to let my eyedrops bottle get in over 23c temperature (in Las Vegas during my stay it was 38c every day).

Cross fingers....

above: me, in Las Vegas, inside Venetian Casino Hotel.  Fake sky, fake canal, fake Venice.

*another friend reckons the reason I get injured or I'm ill  either just before or when I'm on holiday is because I'm always going on holiday!  Rude...
