day 212 day of owch!

right heres where the blog was almost halted for a while due to injury! and i still have the scars!basically this is why i shouldn't cook ever ever ever!

i was tasting some cooked syrup and some dripped off the spoon, now the idiot in me suddenly thought, quick catch it don't make a mess, which is very dumb as the syrup was boiling hot!and burnt 3 holes into my hands, now the pain came over in slow motion so i tried to wipe it, spreading the hot further and then finally hit the tap and the cold beautiful water.well after a good few hours of cooling, i realised i had really done a bad burn. across my right (drawing hand) palm too so closing my hand was a no no.it was horrendously painful and took a month to heal up, with creams and plasters and it hurt like hell.don't try to catch hot syrup!!!!!!!!so here is my left handed scrawl as i sat with my hand ina jug of water.doh!
