Bleh Mondays. Wet, grey and SO SO cold. Apparently it'll be 3 degrees later this evening. THREE! It's supposed to be summer now!
I have, however, finally managed to order heating oil, so now I just have to hope the boiler restarts, or I'll be spending the evening in bed with every duvet in house piled on to make a nest.

Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea...

Also, I have returned the Shoes of EVIL and got another less pretty, but hopefully less murderous pair to replace them. We shall see.

Accident proneness

It just occurred to me, as I sit here trying to figure out how to get a plaster to stay on the top of my thumb (how DO you manage that?) that I have been even more accident-prone than usual lately. As a child I was reknowned for my ability to fall over/off/down anything in my vicinity with an added knack for cutting myself on any vaguely sharp implement left unattended for more that 30 seconds.
Most children do this I'm sure. However I'm sure most people actually grow out of it at some point. Not me!

In just the last week i have managed to -

Stand on glass in bare feet at Thesme's party.
Cut heels on shoes I had forgotten were Heel Destroyers.
Be tripped by New Shoes of Evil, losing much of the skin off one knee & shin.
Almost slice off top of thumb cutting potatoes, leading to much bleeding over the kitchen.

I had to buy more plasters this morning. I'm hoping particular run of self-destruction in tiny phases ends soon. Also, it hurts!
