I'm fine. No visible bruises, although I do have a combination cabbagey ear/swollen and grazed eyelid on the right side of my face and a shoulder that won't rotate properly. Still kind of shaky, too.

The moral of this story is: when your swing rope has been going clunk, clunk at the joint for over five years, do not assume that it's just a bit loose and will be fine. It is in fact filing its way slowly through the shackle below it.

Today is mocking me by having lovely weather. Guess where I'd like to be right now...?

I'm glad that nothing is broken except the swing. Is it fixable?

Yes, thank goodness; my dad's rebuilding it already. Thoroughly.

(Which is usually the case: it almost always takes me getting hurt before he realises that the thing I've been telling him is dangerous for years actually is dangerous.)

If I'm lucky I can get back out there while the sun's still shining today.
