You’re definitely ahead of me.

I’ve tweaked my right shoulder while sleeping. I’d like to think I was fending off an army of vampires while I slept with a silver broadsword, in a sort of automated natural physical response based on decades of expert training.

Yes that’s it…I was fending off a hoard of albino sasquatch as I flew through the air after launching myself at 50mph over a carefully disguised hump in the previously smooth downhill run I was on.

I think my cyborg arm RGB is coming along nicely…

I’d read back what I wrote and can see the double entendres, it genuinely wasn’t meant that way, although perhaps it was honesty getting through despite my attempts to hide it

Problem for homer is I reed writing pretty well and can perceive things others can't, add into the mix being high in empathy and caring about people and I'm pretty annoying, perceptive but annoying lol

And if you wonder, that's a joke I have with people, there like 🙄 I'm like yep caring but annoying lol

Understand your post, don't put it past homer to notice things though right or wrong 💙🫂

This morning, I seem to have added yellow to my RGB portfolio.

Strangely, the bruised bits don’t hurt…it‘s the six inches above & across the shoulder that are very tender (but no sign of bruising).

Voltaren 2.32% plus Naproxen (stronger than Ibuprofen, but not anvailable over the counter in the UK) is taking the sting away, but still can’t lift it more than about 30° from vertical (I used my left arm to position my right arm on a towel rail for support so I could take the photos).

Looks like I’ll be sightseeing for the rest of the holiday 😤

Good thing I can log into the streaming services at the hotel and catch up on stuff 😉

I love skiing, but notice my legs get tired much quicker (due to combination of age and less frequent skiing trips), so have to build up my strength by doing one day, then a break, then 2 days, then a break, and continue that routine.

…and it’s all relatively easy when there’s good snow and sunlight, as you can dig the skis in to make nice turns, and plan your route as you can see every bump ahead of you, and as you’re not making loads of last minute corrections or having to absorb lots of unevenness you don’t take much out of your legs.

However, if it’s hard pack or icy, or overcast, you have to work much harder to stay upright, which takes it out of your legs much quicker.

The quicker you’re going, and the more turns or braking you have to do, the more energy is used, and it’s cumulative as tired legs push you to make more turns and changes your skiing stance which in turn causes more fatigue.

I was in my second week, so onto my stronger skiing schedule, so 50-70mph downhill runs. Unfortunately, like the roads in the UK, I hit an unseen ‘pothole’ at the side of the run and instantly lost my skis as I flew through the air…using my face (helmeted) and outstretched arms to break my fall. Helmet & goggles flew off, but I got up immediately, and was only when I reached for one of my ski poles did the pain in the shoulder appear 😡

But on the good side, it doesn’t stop me from walking around the town and going out to watch the activities…unlike my last injury 5 years ago (fractured hip) which curtailed everything.

I think I must be allergic to spray deodorants and perfumes, because just walking past Boots or the perfume section of a department store / duty free will make the lining of my nose burn (feels similar to brain freeze from a slushy)...it’s even worse if I have to share public transport or a lift with a group of ladies/metrosexuals who forego showering for lashings of body spray instead…as I just end up sneezing all over them (yes, I could cover my nose/mouth with my hand/hanky, but I want payback 😉).

Completely concur, the smell that comes out of places like body shop is absolutely disgusting
