I got back to playing 5-a-side football regularly a few months ago, despite being told that I was getting too old for it after my broken ankle in November,

I had another mishap this week.... Right at the end of the game, I was chasing for a bouncing ball, and somehow thought that it would be better if I jumped high and stretched to kick it with my right foot, rather than heading it. I would probably have managed this OK at 25 but, at 50, I landed with a thump on my left side rather than on my left foot. Nothing broken, but you can see the bruise in the picture.

I've been waddling around for a few days, but it's getting easier now. It will be a few weeks before I grace the 5-a-side pitch again.
