Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Memo to self: Next time you suspect your newly-filled-with-scalding-hot-water bottle has a leak, do NOT attempt to remove the furry cover to see for sure while still sitting on the sofa, because when it bursts, it will go ALL OVER YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD!!

Damage list - one scalded left thumb *nurses*, one dead keyboard (further memo to self, you can never have too many spare keyboards), one soggy duvet (drying on radiator), one soggy mouse mat (successfully dried) and one rather soggy wet patch on the carpet. Oh, and this...

( The Guilty Culprit )

I was actually really glad this happened now, when I was fully dressed, in a thick jumper, t-shirt and jeans, because that absorbed a LOT of the hot water. Had I been ready for bed, I think the damage would have been way, way worse. As it is, even the thumb is feeling better just in the time it took to sort the photo out.

So now I must shop for a new hot water bottle. And possibly a new emergency keyboard :P
