After carrying 28kg of camera equipment up and down French mountains for three weeks (eleven years) you'd think I'd be fine with just a laptop in a wee rucksack up Camden High St. But as I was walking to the office this morning, something in my back pinged and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. Can't even manage to lift my head off the floor, let alone cycle home and climb the ladder up to bed.
