Misadventure :)
Last Friday morning was a sunny day so I decided to read a book in the garden. When I felt too hot (or 'when the heat became too much'), I stood up, took my book and went towards the door to come back inside.
Suddenly I felt pain; I had stepped on a bee. It didn't take this too well and I wasn't wearing shoes, so...
I haven't been able to walk normally for six days and it still hurts a little.
Well done Sara, this is very well written. Many native speakers couldn't do better.
