   I know I was not keeping up with the challenge up to now -only 4 hubs in 10 days- but I was hoping to catch up.
   Unfortunately I had a ciclyng accident this morning and I will not be fit to meet the challenge. 
   
   See you again in 3 weeks

   Sorry to hear about your accident Princessa.  If it is any consolation I must say you still look stylish even when injured.  I broke my toe a couple of years ago, and all I looked like was klutzy.

      LOL, thanks SweetiePie, that lifted my mood... I was so embarassed lying down on the middle of the road with my silly little red "skort"...
      I am still in a lot of pain an it looks like I'll need to keep the cast for a looooong 3 weeks  
      The foot should be better in a week or so...

       Thanks Uninvited Writer, thanfully health insurance is quite good here in France.  I got excellent treatment yesterday at the hospital, in two hours I was all sorted: ambulance, x rays, cast, and all the other exams.

    Geeeee, glad your other body parts are okay.  One of our teachers had an accident too (a man on a motorcycle hit her while she crossing the street) and she teaches with one arm. She didn't feel like staying at home, she said. 
    Hope you'll recover soon.  Take care...

    I've had a LOT of experience with casts, and I have found wire coat hangers to be an invaluable asset for relieving itching. I just bend 'em into the shape I need, and go at it. Just don't use the hooked end. Trust me.

       Hi, I am certainly planning on continuing riding-despite my husbands advice and handcuffs LOL.  I love it too much to leave it.  Next time though I am going to get a helmet, I was lucky this time, the doctor was amazed I got off so lightly after such a crush. 
       
       I've been looking again at your hub on helmets but I have not decided yet which one to get.
