Could have done with a crystal ball...

Fell into a patch of extremely prickly plants today whilst snatching the dog from under the wheels of a tractor.... well O.K he did come and sit by me obediently as the tractor approached, but I hunkered down by him and waved to the farmer and somehow by doing those two things together fell into said patch of prickles - a description which does NOT do them justice, they were more like finely sharpened spears! Brammle (the dog) then thought great game and added his weight to my distress. My bottom will never be the same again..
