Hobbit

For some time, I have been catching my foot on paving slabs, trains, invisible things, sometimes leading to serious injury


I have recently discovered, during a boring meeting, that my left foot isn't as manoueverable as my right, so nowadays I walk with a permanent limp (bonk, plap, bonk, plap)
I cannot work my left ankle in the same way as my right
According to Scientific American (est 1845), the "Hobbit" Homo Floresiensis, discovered in Flores, Indonesia "would have had to use a high stepping gait to avoid dragging their toes on the ground". Well that must be me, although I am neither short nor have hairy feet.

That drawing looks somewhat frightening. Didn't they once have people stationed by the doors saying "Mind the gap" for that very reason? :)
