as this shows.....
story time.
So I was on my last time down on the sled before going back. And keito-kun, a 5 year-old boy, jumped in with me and said lets go together. So he squeezes in front, and I'm at the back. And we set off.

Now all morning, there has been this smallish block of snow on the slope down, which I think is the left over of a snowman. Anyway, this has melted, refrozen, melted, refrozen. And now basically is a block of ice. All morning the kids have managed to avoid it quite easily as it wasn't really ''in the way''.

You know whats coming don't you?

So off go me and keito-kun head down the slope, and start going real fast. Then, we start veering off to the right a bit, in the direction of the ice-block. And before I know it, there's no real chance of getting out of the way or stopping in time. So, there we are, heading straight for it. I push my leg out in front, trying to stop us in time, but it doesn't work. My leg goes straight in to the block of ice and I think Keito-kun goes flying straight over it, and I somehow manage to break the block of ice with a combination of my speed and leg and end up in a heap.

And then comes the shooting pain in my leg. It hurt, it hurt bad.
But it was made better when all the nursery kids and staff came running over to me asking me if I was ok. My leg hurt a lot, a whole lot. And I was just lucky it wasn't straight when I hit the ice, or I probably would've broken it.

It's still hurting as I write this, and I cant bend down on it properly.
but touchwood, it'll be fine.

And keito-kun?
The kid I did all this for?
He was fine, and wasn't hurt at all, he's one of those kids that wanted to go again straight away.
But he said thank you, and then even asked me to sit with him at lunch.

And thats all the thanks I need!
