This made me laugh out loud.

There are allegedly a colony of wallabies in Edinburgh - near my old Uni. campus. One of my old lecturers told me about te wallabies and I thought she was talking crazy (she was a bit mad) but apparently it is true. And there was were a few albino squirrels too. Who knew Edinburgh had so many rare animals in its wilds.

To Father Tony - your comment touched a nerve with me. To be truthful I am very worried about my soul's current status. I feel that it is becoming a dark, shrivelled thing and would be loth to share it's true nature with anyone right now - but also I cannot help thinking 'once a priest....'

Manuel - you really should think about consulting Father Tony about your deep, dark neuroses. I think you'd find his advice very helpful. And he might have some insider knowledge on the whereabouts of the true pope.

Evilganome - Kangaroos are not currently resident in Norn Iron or anywhere else in Hibernia but there were, until very recently, a colony of wild wallabies outside Leek in Staffordshire. And that's not very far away by US standards.

Hmmmm... I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but blogger must not have liked it. It involved my ignorance on the indigenous nature of kangaroos in Norn Iron! Which, honest, I had no idea there were kangaroos named Skippy native to the Emerald Isle, which only highlights the depths of my ignorance.

Hola Nelly--

Please remove that obscene photo of a lady's bits off your blog. I was almost puking up my porridge when I first see it. Is not what I espect to see in Nelly's Garden!

And also I don't not want to know how you manage to get your foot trap inside. Country ways is clearly very different in Espain.

It's delightful to watch a happy woman find her stride. You think your blog needs opinions? Not really, what it needs is only the door into your soul. That is the one thing to which you have not quite yet directed us. I am patient.

Please...please take a phone with you when you when you leave the beaten path. You can turn it off if you don't want to be disturbed, but have it handy for emergencies.

Dang those dogs - having a holiday while you suffer. You deserve a drop of gin. :-)

Ganching - Maybe I'll take a flask of gin with me on my walks to see if that increases the falling down opportunities.

Grannymar - I sort of knew the leg wasn't too badly damaged. It was all scrapes and sore muscle - but you're probably right. I should have been a bit more ginger about it to start with.

Poor Nelly!

I hope you told the hole off!

Seriously I hope you didn't jump up once the leg was free, You need to check carefully for damage or breaks. Putting weight on the limb can make things worse!

See, I told you that posts about falling into holes were better than opinions.

My dogs never looked the road I was on (that's an Ulsterism - means they ignored me)

Oh my goodness...lucky you are okay..if I fell in a hole like that my dog would have licked my face to death.
