Timber!!!

All I did was draw the curtains .... And the pesky pole fell on my head!!
After not a lot of sleep I was up and about, getting ready for a morning in Lytham, learning about Annie Sloan paint techniques. Jonathan was up at the crack of dawn as he had to get to Telford for a barbershop quartet workshop. I was left in charge of the house, which I seem to have wrecked!
The pole missed the tv by a millimeter, but was a direct hit on me. So why is it that I am still functioning while the tv is not???
