Cleverly, I appear to have sprained the first knuckle of my second toe. For such a crap little injury, this is surprisingly painful.

Now, normally injuries are good for a bit of sympathy, especially when heroically gained - I considered making up an exciting tale to go with it in the hopes of people dabbing my fevered brow and buying me drinks (Whilst walking home last night I encoutered a gang of ne'er-do-wells insulting a nun. Naturally, I leapt to the ladys' assistance and in the course of issuing a punitive beating I gained a small injury...). However, I in fact gained it by firmly kicking the side of the bath whilst having a shower. So not only do I have a surprisingly painful little injury, but one gained in a fairly embarrassing fashion. After all, this is the sort of injury that old people get - and indeed entire industries have been spawned from this sort of thing:
Can't lift your foot eighteen inches off the floor? Can't get in the bath without hurting yourself? You need new Eezi-Gran^tm walk-in baths. Say goodbye to ablution injury misery forever with Eezi-Gran, suitable for anyone over eighty. Satisfied user David, of London, says: "Eeeh, this was all trees when I was a girl".

So I'm going to be hobbling for a few days, and keeping damn quiet about why to my workmates.
