I shouldn't be allowed in a kitchen

[simont]

I mentioned two weeks ago that I'd cut my fingers chopping onions again.

A few days after that I managed to cut my foot in the kitchen: I dropped a plate, which shattered on the floor, and since I happened to be barefoot at the time my toe was gashed open by a sharp piece of flying crockery.

And last night I splashed boiling water over my hand while taking a pan of potatoes off the hob, and not content with that threw half the potatoes over the kitchen in the process.

I've bought an onion-chopping gadget, but it's possible that what I should have bought instead was a chef, so that I could never set foot in a kitchen again.

I believe chefs can be rented on a piecework basis at establishments called "restaurants".

I was just about to suggest takeaway ;)

Have you been falling over and dropping things a lot elsewhere too?

Not that I can recall. It's just kitchens!

(Or maybe it's just my kitchen. Perhaps what I need is to get an exorcist to come in and lift the curse.)

Well, I'm pretty sure I owe you dinner...

I thought it was currently my turn, but either way, it'd be good to see you!

Oh bless you, Simon :) If you fancy some food and a silly board game or two give me a shout...
