A risky question if ever I heard one, Carinthia :wink:

Your outfit sounds lovely, Twellsy. I believe that you have recently acquired some new make-up, so have a practice run, should you have time.

New battery affixed, stair gates ordered and prawn and pea risotto devoured. All is well.

Where did you find the stairgates, Soo?

I have a paper cut on the tip of my right thumb. It is sore, but I am viewing it as a learning experience. So far I have learnt 4 things:

  1. Lime juice stings just as much as lemon juice.

  2. Magnesium oil stings more than either lime juice or lemon juice.

  3. Tabasco stings more than anything else on this planet.

  4. I am too stupid to avoid getting sting-y things in a paper cut.,

Oh, that’s a complete bitch! I am sorry to hear it.

Last week I managed somehow to cut the fourth finger of my left hand on some sticky-out bit of a brewery shop’s loo, and had all the embarrassment of going back into the shop with my left hand held above my head and dripping blood like a leaky tap, asking in a slightly distraught way for paper towel and, if they had any, a sticky plaster. Which they did. This embarrassment was compounded by the fact that the last time I was in that shop, with Sudden Daughter, I had been walking in unsuitable shoes and had a blister, which they very kindly gave me a sticking plaster for – and they knew this, because I had remarked on it earlier when we were served by the kind man who gave me the plaster last time. I may never be able to go back there, and they are brewing a mild in April that I wanted to try. Waah.

It has healed completely, which was what this rambling anecdote was meant to be about.

Yours sounds a complete bitch too (with the embarrassment factor thrown in), which I am also sorry to hear about. Finger & thumb injuries of any sort are such a nuisance because it is almost impossible to keep them covered and still wash your hands or handle food or whatever hygienically. I’m opting for just gritting my teeth and waiting for this one to dry out - it usually works.

Ha ha! The AB was too proud to use a walker, in spite of having been told many times that he should. He felt the pain all right!

(I know that’s not the sort of thing you meant, and I bet you’ll look gorgeous on the night.)

There is some stuff made by Boots called Wound Healing Gel which does actually seem to have a good effect on minor cuts. It costs three quid for 20ml but you need to use remarkably little of it…

That sounds useful, thanks.

Amazon, Carinthia. Had to be done.

I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise, Twellsy. Hope you have a fabulous time of it xx

Good nights, Cellarites,

Gin, Darling.

The 2nd recalcitrant bottle of the day was an Noo bottle of mouthwash.

Sigh

I know that Elfin Safety is very important, but these bottles where one has to squeeze hard at 2 points whilst unscrewing the cap are absolute Buggas.

I have a stress bruise at the base of me thumb.

Sigh

Not a Like like, Darling. Maybe the owners of brats and the half-witted could put bottles out of harm’s way? Ridiculous thought. But I am sure far more annoyance and ‘minor’ injury is caused than ‘lives saved’ by this bullshit. Mouthwash, ffs.
