My back's gone. Anyone seen it?

Serves me right for comparing wallpapering to an extreme sport. I can't really believe it was the papering wot dunnit; more likely one of my occasional bad back spells was exacerbated by a busy weekend.

[The papering went very well, BTW, with the enthusiastic assistance of groliffe and Caro, to whom Huge Thanks. We got a whole wall done, including difficult bits like sockets and a height change in the ceiling.]

Anyway, my back was fairly painful this afternoon, so I went to lay down and read for a couple of hours. When I came to get up, I couldn't, at least not without someone seemingly trying to put an axe through the small of my back. Eventually I got into a chair, and being upright actually seems to help matters, although all I can do for now is a slow shuffle. This really has to get better soon though, as I have a very busy week ahead handing over my job and then chairing an SFF committee meeting down in London. What timing...

Oh dear...

Lie on the floor with your kees up, feet down flat. Sitting in a chair won't help, probably.

And ibuprofen works wonders..
