Keep sharp knives away from me!
Dec. 5th, 2009 10:52 pmI spent almost the entire stinking hot day (37C) demolishing the pergola and then at about 6pm we went down to the beach. So far today, I have wielded saws, screwdrivers, hammers, shovels and stood on the roof with nary a scratch. Now I unpack the car, pick up the serviettes and bits and pieces and then lift them high to get the kids' boogie board under my arm. My ear kind of stings but I keep walking down towards the beach.
When I get, my partner says "What the hell happened to you?" I am none the wiser until I look down at my shirt and realise that the front has a bit of blood on it. I drop everything to figure out where it came from. It turns that there was a large knife in the bits and pieces I hefted onto my shoulder and the blade knicked the top of my ear. Blood has trickled down the back of my ear, down my neck and then onto my shirt. Of course, the cut is all of about 1/4 inch long but the results are way out of proportion to the cut's size!
