‘An alpaca bit me,’ I said to the nurse in A&E. We were due to go to a christening that day, and I’d asked him not to play football. Luckily, my cast came off a few days before our big day, although Paul was still on his crutches. I’d had no idea I’d scratched my eye, but now looking at the pointy edges of my nails, I realised how dangerous they were. After a week, my eye felt a lot better, and my vision returned.
