    I'm not sure it's really a reason to be cheerful but it made me laugh.  I must stress that no persons were injured in the making of this story.

    A cousin of mine, who is very amply proportioned, was looking after her 3 year old grandson and they decided to to a bit of gardening.  Their garden is split level with fairly narrow steps between levels and a low retaining wall.  Apparently she was going down the steps when she stumbled, but managed to stop herself falling and landed firmly on the bottom step.  She then realised that she couldn't get enough leverage on the wall to get back up.  She was well and truly wedged and had to stay there until her husband got home.  Grandson was not happy because he had nobody to entertain him, and hubby was in the doghouse when he got home because he collapsed in a heap laughing.  The only damage was to my cousin's dignity.
    She is the one who told me the story.
