Ohhh, that hurts

I've hurt my leg so I'm having to type with one paw. Never easy at the best of times with 2 paws I'm finding this intensely annoying. I think I've pulled something and may have to ease up on chasing off the puppies this week in the park (but all the rest of you must not take advantage of my predicament - I will still be barking at you all).
FP's fine. It wasn't swine flu she had though I made sure by sitting with her all through Friday after she was sent home from work and then the parts of Saturday that she spent on the sofa. I like to sit on the sofa.
I've been reading about Marcus Trescothick and think we should check out his website (when it is finished - hurry up). Cricket is very amusing, especially when you are on enforced bed/sofa rest with a pulled something in your leg. I could be struggling for fitness for a few months here and I am concerned about losing my place in the organised fight against the Squirrel Army.
I have noticed that the recent brutal treatment of the trees in my park has meant that there are way fewer squirrels gathering up nuts. This means that FP & ST have been picking up conkers and are now planning a tournament. They don't even have hard hats!
I might even have sustained my injury by trying to make a sharp turn in an area littered with acorns. The slo-mo footage would show me picking up speed only to have to change direction in short measure. As I turn I unwittingly twist my ankle on an acorn which the camera zooms in on. Bang! I've pulled something and it is all because the bloody squirrels failed to pick up the acorns.
Part of today's walk was spent in the maze. ST tried to cheat by peering over the tops of the hedges but we still went wrong.
