The pain the pain, the almost ...

...unbearable pain (Lost In Space - the TV series 1965 -1968) ... I have to report sadly that Bluebird is at present unable to upload video or post any pictures for your edification.

The story is garbled but the gist is that Bluebird arrived home to his treehouse at about 11 pm limping heavily and babbling incoherently (quite normal for a Monday evening, I grant you...)

"Not even nominated ... no mention whatsoever ... what else can The Pillock do ... ?" With blood still seeping through his trousers, Bluebird collapsed into the lower berth of his bunk bed and gradually the awful tale was revealed ...

Well into the run, Poacher had suggested a short cut for him and Bluebird to get to the Regroup before the pack. This entailed traversing a narrow, tortuous gorse-lined track and attempting to keep up with the Poacher ...

As usual, Poacher adopted his usual 'burn 'em off' strategy and Bluebird was put to the sword ...
rounding a tight bend in the track, disaster struck ... and Bluebird slipped off the side of a granite rock and fell heavily on his left knee ... but it was a bit like the old gag about the suicide jump: 'His problem wasn't that he fell, his problem was - he landed' ... immediately after hitting the ground, Bluebird slid sideways and hit the side of his head on another rock ... sigh

A velvet black mist slid over his eyes and just before losing consciousness, Bluebird had the presence of mind to shout: "Man downnnn" ... a few seconds later, Bluebird regained his senses to observe blood flowing down his leg ... a few seconds after that, a backtracking Poacher observed a single leg sticking up in the gorse with blood trickling down it ... imagine the hand coming out of the lake to catch 'Excalibur' ...

Staggering upright, Bluebird made the regroup where most (except for the registered blind) saw the state of the registered Pillock.

If Bluebird doesn't make it through the night, I may well have difficulty getting any pictures to you - let alone achieve the complexities of getting any videos posted ...

By the way, just as he closed his eyes a few minutes ago, he muttered: "It is a conspiracy Bobby, just as I told you ..."

love and kisses Bluebell
