hot stuff in the kitchen

i had all great intentions of blogging last night but ended up asleep on the couch by about 8.45pm and woke up at a quarter past midnight. i staggered off to my nest and managed to sleep until 9am this morning.

today has started well - i started a fire in the kitchen while cooking my breakfast - i was making some porridge and forgot to turn off the gas and somehow the teatowel was too close to the flame. i managed to fling the flaming cotton into the sink and turn the tap on before the smoke alarm went off. now, if i'd left it long enough, i could have had a visit from the fire brigade. mmm... firemen... speaking of firemen, i saw a firewoman the other day - perhaps that is another job option for me but then again, the distraction of men in uniform may be too much for me...

i'm off to do some research for nonowrimo and find a new template. more later...
