{ Thank You }

First I have to thank you all for your well wishes! :) I was so surprised, and delighted, to read your words of wisdom and consolations regarding my poor sick foot. Ha! Well, thankfully, no needles went near it. I was even more delighted about that. The doctor, gosh, how I love him for sparing me at the hand of the evil pinprick, said they don’t like to stitch the sole of the foot because it’s not very practical. How I had waited and hoped to hear those words! They gave me butterfly stitches, medicine to stop the swelling and a big bandage. So I spent two days off school watching The Daily Politics Show with my bandaged leg up on a chair. Fun! ;) Seriously, though, this taught me a lot. To not leave ringbinders on the staircase, to be more careful, to not freak out about the little things, to be more grateful when I don’t have a lacerated foot. It might seem a bit philosophical to see all these insights into such an insignificant event, but I guess that’s just me. And, for various reasons, the foot/ringbinder incident confirmed my view that some good always comes out of bad.

 Anyway…enough contemplation…I must sound like my philosophy teacher! Never a good thing. I’m so excited. Not because I sound like my philosophy teacher, but because tomorrow I’m taking part in the Hovis London Freewheel  – TFL, and Hovis, are closing off all the roads in the City of Westminster and in London, and opening it to 38,000 cyclists. I signed up a while back and finally received my (ugly) red bib and (cool) bicycle bell today. So roll on! Hopefully my foot won’t bother me too much. I’m so excited – and am definitely going to take my cam. Should be fun. I’ll just share one shot, showcasing my ‘so-excited’ mood ;) Ta-da!

Have a fun day tomorrow, and thanks for all your comments. =) Love ya, Lulu.
