Do not do not DONUT

Well the wifes cleaner arrived and I thought I am out of here. So headed down to the creek for some bankside bass fishing.Walked for nearly an hour through long grass for no fish and managed to stay on my feet. Thought I would try another of my favourite spots, but when I got to the area the grass was to high. There was about a metre of gravel between the water and the long grass, so I started walking along this, nek thing I am airborne.A runner of buffalo grass comming out of the long grass and into the water managed to hook onto  me and trip me. So I picked myself up and looked to see what damage I had done this time. Gravel rash on both knees and right forearm,out come the hanky to wrap around one knee.

At this stage the fishing was put on hold as I had to get home before I bled to death.I received a warm welcome on arriving home,DONT YOU BLEED ON MY NICE CLEAN FLOOR. Realy caring wife, I had to doctor myself up. I decided I would live, but I dont think I will be doing anymore bush bashing until the grass dies off at least.

You're a glutton for punishment. Haha

As long as you're only breaking skin, it's not too bad a result.

Bit of Betadine antiseptic and your good to go! One thing to be mindful of, is to let someone know exactly where you are walking because if you were to suffer some serious damage and not able to walk out then no one would find you in the long grass. You can't rely on having a mobile on you to call for help if you aren't able to use it for whatever reason!

I think Dino, you need one of those red cross girls to accompany

you on your forays into the bush.

I would end up with more damage there and when I got home.
