… firstly this afternoon in work, by slicing the side of my hand with a serrated plastic knife - I didn’t realise how sharp it was when I tested it on my skin, but I drew a few beads of blood!.

And then this evening, helping Marion to cook by both tasting a piece of raw chilli (which resulted in burning lips and an application of butter to them) and then later rubbing a chilli-juiced finger on my eyelid without thinking. Ouch!

Also today, I am mostly … realising how long it’s been

… since I last wrote anything in this blog. I have thought of things to write, on lots of occasions; I just have never got round to typing anything.

Not that much has been happening, really. We’ve had both sunshine and showers throughout April, though it’s been raining and grey for the past few days which has depressed me. Work’s been busy; the house needs a good clean and I’ve been planning for at least a month to paint the bathroom. Cats are fine, Colin’s fine; I’ve been getting more exercise and have embarked on a first-to-walk-100-miles challenges with some friends. (That’s 100 miles over many days, not all in one go, we’re not idiots.)

It’s only two weeks until Colin and I finally go on our honeymoon though, to Italy, and I can’t believe how soon it’s crept up. Still so much to do - but I cannot wait to go back to the country I love.
