Why can't I play a badminton game without somehow ending up throwing myself at the ground?

And not missing, unfortunately.

I have two painful bruises on my knees this morning.

Luckily, my Secret Friend has left a few Lindt chocolates on my desk, so life is easier already: it makes up pretty beautifully for those bruises, for the snowstorm outside and also for the fact that Sambuca peed on my bed for the second time this morning because I somehow closed the door to the cupboard in which I keep her litterbox.

Happy Valentine's Day, readers!
