christmas came early this year.

i have a huge blister on my finger.

it happened late on saturday night. in the day, i had had some pretty awesome vegetable soup, and i decided it was time for some more. so i set the pot on the hob, and waited for a bit. i came back, ready to eat and removed the pot from the hob. only i did this with my bare hands. holy moly, did it hurt. its my own stupid fault, i just wasnt thinking. it bloody hurt though. so i spent about 10 minutes with my finger under a tap, and all i could think was 'my soup is going to go cold, my soup is going to go cold'. so, genius that i am, i filled a pot with water, and sat down to eat my soup with one of my hands immersed in water. probably didnt do any good, as we ended up going to the pharmacy at 3am. it was particularly funny trying to break bread off to dip in, as i only had one hand to do so. its really difficult breaking bread with one hand, so i ended up just having to dunk the huge chunk o bread in the soup. it would have looked very silly. good soup though. top soup.

so im sort of out of comission right now. i tried to eat a meal today, but my cutlery skills were lacking. my typing is also rather laughable, and whenever i take anything out of my left pocket, it seriously hurts. so the morale of the story is, never touch really hot things, because they are really hot. like, seriously hot. HOT.

i think the season is winding down as well, which is cool. either that or im just used to it being full around here, im not sure. im looking forward to it being quieter already, which is silly as i have only been here for 4 weeks, 4 very quick weeks. having more time to relax by the river will be rather lovely. tonight is the local derby as well, and i've decided to give it a miss. too many people telling me that its going to be dangerous. the velez fans are boycotting the match, but not boycotting the stadium surroundingds. in other words, there gonna be a riot! a riot is no place for a short 4 eyed welshman i'd say.
