Pink Tape

A BLOG FROM THE FAMILY BAR

...in which I ricochet from too serious to too flippant and where I may vent, rant or wax lyrical at my own whim, mostly about family law. Constructive co-ranting welcome. More...

I’m Literally Pink Tape right down to my toes

Pink TapeOh yes, that is a LEGITIMATE hyperbolic use of “LITERALLY”…

You can’t say I don’t treat this blog seriously…I’m a walking advert thanks to my genius idea to let the 4 year old choose the colour of my cast. But walking advert is far better than the graceless hopping person I’ve been all week. THIS is a “walking cast” (who knew?). Well, it’s more of an awkward hobble cast but I’m not picky.

I’m planning to use this image on my 404 page to illustrate the “Oops something’s broken on Pink Tape” message. Just as soon as I can work out the tech…

In the meantime, I’m off to put my foot up, from where I will await the stream of pink tape / fracture related jokes unfurl….(can a stream unfurl?)

(And before you ask it’s a suspected fractured cuboid plus bad sprain – that’s a tarsal y’know – and I didn’t do it performing any more exciting activity than walking at a reasonable pace on a flat pavement).

Next week : 4 year old artwork to go with my court dress… Forget gravitas. Life’s too short.

    What, no claim against the local authority?

    And you call yourself a lawyer.

    Cute, Lucy, and you haven’t forgotten to paint your toenails.

    Colour clash. Get your 4 year old to respray those toes (or perhaps not your 4 year old).

      With RESPECT Simon it’s NOT a colour clash. I had red, red, dark red or grey nailpolish. So I chose grey. It’s neutral. 😉

      Discombobulated! Where have you been? Cast off this morning – and not a minute too soon! Have a left leg like overcooked spaghetti which is making for a mildly amusing walking style, but I can drive (Independent woman asking her lil bro and ol dad for a taxi ride to work is not a good look).

        You’ll have muscle wastage. You could do with a Sedan chair.

        Got a new job and it’s all a bit wild! Sorry for absence.

        How’s your ex?

    I think you need to be more worried about gravity than gravitas.
