Beware of the Wildlife

tamaranthLast time I came off my bike in London, it was a source of copious amusement for bystanders.
Just now (having swerved to avoid an especially gormless squirrel, and jack-knifed the bike) I was invited indoors to sit down, given a glass of water and some tissues, and generally looked after.
I came off surprisingly lightly: was sure I heard the crunch of breaking bone as my face met the lovely suburban brick road, but nose (never my best feature) is only a little swollen, and not bleeding much. Hideous headache, though, and assorted other aches. Am giving myself the afternoon off job-hunting, which was due to start, er, this afternoon. Sofa + cats + sunshine seems much more tempting.
If you see a squirrel, run it over. From me.
