HAPPY NEW YEAR from Owls Well! We hope you had a great 2015. Please, enjoy an official recording of the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks courtesy of the City of Sydney.
Normally, we would post a wrap up of last year at Owls Well, but instead, I wanted to write to you very seriously about folly of bad New Year Resolutions!
So, every year, we are encouraged to make a New Year Resolution. Usually, this is something like “lose weight” or “study harder”. This year, I decided to go easy on myself and my resolution was to “Try something new.”
Well, I am pleased to report that, as of 10.20 AM, 22 hours and 20 minutes after the start of the New Year, I have officially resolved this resolution! I have… fallen on my hand while out gardening, necessitating a visit to the A&E at the local hospital. While I didn’t break my wrist, I have badly twisted a ligament in it. Since I have not, in fact, ever torn or twisted a ligament before OR visited an A&E, I have officially resolved (resoluted?) my New Year.
Let the tiny bones in my wrist serve as a lesson to you all about foolish New Year Resolutions!
I am currently wearing a brace on my right hand, so this post comes to you courtesy of my left hand, which is currently unhurt.
Owls Well Blogs wishes you an accident-free New Year. Drive safely and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do (except fall on your hand. Definitely don’t do that.)
Happy 2016!

That makes two of us! My resolution was just one word this time round. Explore. Like you, I am busy exploring the local A and E (pretty impressive, I might add) plus all things medical, having tripped over in a field and breaking my right wrist!
ARGH!
Goodness, I guess we can explore together! Haha. Well, I hope your wrist recovers soon. Mine is in a compression bandage at the moment.
My cast due off in two days! 🙂
How is your wrist now?
It’s completely healed, thank you for asking! I’m glad you got your cast off too!
