1 I had a bad fall, put my head through the bath and displaced my pelvis. Minus side - very expensive to replace bath. Plus side - enforced bed rest meant I finally wrote the new unit.
2 Hobbling became the new walking. Employing mind over matter, I convinced myself I COULD still have my skiing lesson. As I lay sobbing with pain in the cold, cold snow, I knew I had made a BIG mistake. No plus side. Minus side - everything.
Two weeks later...... Plus side - by contorting sideways and being VERY inelegant, at last I am able to crawl into fantastically-beautiful new little sports car, which means I can get to work. Minus side - it's equally as difficult to get out of the car. My fervent hope is that I can do better before all the students turn up next week or I'm going to end up on YouTube.
