When we arrived at Judy's a week ago last Friday it was early evening. We had dinner and a catch-up by which time it was about 9.45 pm. The girls decided this was time for bed with our early start the next morning. However as it was about three hours before my bedtime I was reluctant to go but I decided to take my Kindle to bed and have a read because I had no internet access. I was in bed just before 10. Half an hour later and not having read a word I woke up just as I hit the floor having fallen from my sitting-in-bed position. My first thought - after surprise at finding my head just about to hit the floor - was to play the Glad Game. If it had been my laptop on my knee instead of the Kindle it might have been a disaster.
The next morning I told the girls to give them a laugh. To quote one of my favourite film lines "Big mistake!". I spent a couple of days being asked by people on the lawns if I'd fallen out of bed recently! Some people are so indiscreet. That's just not the sort of thing I want anyone to know.

Oh dear... I think you'd better start using my method: Listening to audio books. That way you can tuck yourself in properly and put your glasses in a safe place first, and never mind when you fall asleep!
ReplyDeleteLove it GB.... perhaps you should try an early night more often !
ReplyDeletenear disaster! glad you weren't harmed!

Monica: I listen to piano music when I go to bed.
ReplyDeleteFiona: Try falling out of bed more often? I might not be so lucky next time!
Thanks to those who imagined the scene, didn't laugh too loudly and am glad I'm ok. Once I'd realised what had happened I laughed so much that I'm surprised I didn't wake the house.
Oh Goodness! All I do (so far!) is drop the book. Then, that wakes me up enough to keep reading another half page, when I drop the book again, which wakes me up enough to read another 1/4 page when I drop the book.....
