Will the posts start getting interesting now? :)

Well if it doesn't stop bleeding in the next few hours I'll know to start worrying :P

Won't be able to type properly for a while, which is a bit annoying.

Little squares of jade woven/sewn into a mat. Jade is a semi-precious stone that stays pretty cold, rather like marble.

You had me at merlot…the most abused variety of all.

(I just need bandages and rubbing alcohol, both of which I haven't used in years. This silly gauze isn't going to do much in the kitchen.)

Had to go to the one pharmacy ages way because, stupidly, I cut a small chunk of my little finger out whilst preparing dinner.

Stupid mistake. At least dinner's not ruined or anything.

Resist the temptation! Spare your palate!

Though I would say that, having just finished my third glass…

Nope. I'm not entirely sure why my parents chose that in the beginning. Hmm.

We add bamboo-tile mats when it gets too hot for even the aircon. I have a jade-tile pillow cover that's wonderfully cold all the time.

Much appreciated.
