There’s no wireless and the 3G/4G is intermittent up here at best so about as well as you’d expect: they’re delighted

I agree with Cherie...I would hold off for a while. My mum broke her ankle years ago and it was never the same again. You are younger so it may heal better...but thats not to say it will. If it does impact you for the rest of your life you might not find it so funny.
...and of course your trip has been ruined...after the last year or so you must have been really looking forward to it.
Wishing you a speedy recovery...

Now if definitely the time to do it though as the roads are relatively quiet, because there is a lot of international tourism usually, but Ms Covid has put a pause on that - most summers they’re packed.

Ironically, we clambered across rocks and cliffs yesterday to reach a secluded beach and it was AMAZING, it was randomly hot and sunny, water was crystal clear and light blue, white sands… it was like going through a portal to the other side of the world… stunning. But very hard to get to. And yet, zero injuries doing that

We’ve done pretty much the whole route and will do another chunk on the drive home so at least we still get to see it. Were meant to be heading over to Skye for 4 days but that is now cancelled

Thanks, sounds stunning

Scott told me to ask will you send him broken feet pics for a £5 tesco voucher.

Was he doing an Alison Hammond and bouncing on the wood?

I have obtained CCTV footage, looks like he was pissed

If you've seriously injured your foot then that's potentially a loss of earnings if you can't return to work after your holiday period has ended.

When you open your house up to be rented, the house has to be safe for use. The owners are liable for any incidents like this.

I literally just took the dog out for a poop (the dog, not me) and was strolling back in and it snapped like spaghetti

. We did take pictures of it (the broken section and the rest of the deck) and tbh it is blatantly not fit for use. The guy also came in the morning and replaced the plank that broke… with one that did not look new… so I’m in two minds about the whole thing. On the one hand they were very apologetic - on the other I saw little indication that they actually plan to properly fix it or even block it off. There’s another entrance that doesn’t involve walking on the wood so they could just rope the whole thing off if they wanted.

There’s no risk of loss of earnings for me personally because I work from home anyway, but I would say there definitely would have been otherwise… I don’t see it being better by next week, that’s for sure, and potentially months. I had a similar-feeling injury to my hand and wrist a few years ago and it took three ****ing months to fully heal. But at least with that you can walk!

My thinking is they had no idea it would break, sounds like it was poorly installed.

As for legal stuff

er no, this isnt the USA

It was old and poorly installed, but I think they built it themselves, and it was quite clear that the wood was old/giving up. Actually noted that it was creaking and a bit dodgy when we arrived and thought, “should be careful on this” … which I then forgot when taking the dog out, that part I’ll admit is on me. But it’s not like I was having a rave, I literally walked on it…

Wasn't anyone filming?

You could have got £250 from "You've been framed"

Yes but only at MIU so far, got it supported and crutches but they want Ortho at the hospital to look at the X-rays… haven’t heard from them though and the hospital backlogs are huge so who knows.

Swelling is right down now, a lot of bruising came through after the swelling went, I can partially weightbear on the side but get shooting pains if I put my foot flat. My wife reckons possibly ruptured ligaments.

I’m not here for that! My concern now is that it’s sort of plateau’d… it’s 10x better than it was at the weekend (when it looked like an overstuffed sausage and I couldn’t put my foot down at all, even when sitting) but… it’s been like it is now for a few days without change. Ankle seems to be healing fine (just a minor twist I think) and I can put pretty much my full weight on the outside of the foot, but any on the inside (or anything touching the top, like a clumsy ****ing Labrador for example) is a burning/stabbing pain and hasn’t improved at all. I may be being impatient as it’s not even been a week

.
