it's a special occasion that ever brings me to blog in the office... and today is another one of those few opportunities. So we were in the office being highly productive and howie was playing with a butter knife in his shoe and stuff... as you do. then lowandbehold, there's a snap and a yelp and quite a bit of blood. no, he didn't cut his foot off, he somehow snapped the knife in half and slashed his left palm pretty deeply. so into the kitchen for some cold water and an old tea towel applying pressure. we have such a top notch first aid kit in the office... ba baow. anyways, then off to medical centre in westfield - where you can read all the details i'm sure on howie's blog - to get 5 stitches, and not much anaesthetic it seems. but i bought him a coke buddy to cheer him up. then a visit to pete the pom for some key cuttage, and back again to the office, where there were some sympathetic and not-so-sympathetic Wombat ladies to comment on the injury (which was funny in itself). and that's why i'm blogging in the office.
