OK, so I stuffed it again......

September 5th 2008 12:38
.....just when I thought I was getting everything back on track, more or less, I decided it might be more visually appealing to make the finger on one of my hands shorter....by about an inch or so, so typing is quite difficult, not to mention various other tasks, so between that and the fact that I'm taking of to London for a fair few days as of this afternoon, I won't be able to set up any new posts for a few days more yet at least.
I can hear Kylie Minogue's 'Did It Again' playing in my head which should give you some idea about how often I manage to cut, burn and physically mutilate myself domestically.......

victorinox knives knife
So no facts today, but instead a warning - watch out for your fingers while cutting your fruit and veg - somethimes as we grow older and get a little more lax at what we're doing. Be especially mindful of very sharp Victorinox knives brought over from those Swiss market stalls because they can cut through anything, because they certainly can!

Hope you feel better soon. Hubby did that once while cutting a potato. Thankfully it grew back. But it also was probably not as far as yours either. You gotta be careful. Remember what our moms always taught us? That knives are sharp? Funny, when we get older we tend to forget that very easy lesson.

Feel better soon,
Lori in Wisconsin USA

Thanks Lori, it's getting there somewhat - at least the pain has more or less stopped, but it is a tricky area of the body that one in terms of growing back etc isn't it.
I remember a lady back years ago that I knew who wasn't so lucky after getting 3 of her fingertips caught in a blender and as a result some parts didn't regrow.

Oh well, fingers crossed!
