I couldn't help it in the end.

Here's the pic of my mysterious upper thigh injury from Monday's fall on the dark footpaths of Birchwood.

I took me a while to persuade a photographer to get a picture.

And suffice to say there was a much hilarity when someone saw me and the photographer in the compromising position needed for close up picture.

My only defence was to adopt a mock Vietnamese accent and cry: "He pay me 50 dollar!"

Of course there were quick crys of: "Fit a lens to make it look bigger!"

On a more serious note, I spent this morning taking bike riding lessons with the charming pupils of Bradshaw Lane Primary School.

I'll let you know how I got on soon.
