Occasionally I have urges to make them the sharpest knives in the world (by sharpening them with my whetstone) and after one such occasion my wife was washing up and sliced through her finger to the bone without noticing (until she saw all the blood and felt the sharp pain in her finger). Nice. I pointed out that the cut was a clean one. I have some rather nice “Global” kitchen / chef’s knives, which my wife and I both use in the kitchen.

Clearly their list is not comprehensive. Hope Maddy is better soon. Dave you need to do all the chores for the next month...part of the cherishing bit...don't let it stop the cartoons though as the effect on the rest of us would be too severe..

Glad the bleeding has stopped. Terrifying when it happens, of course. “What? Red? Ow! That hurts! I’ve lost a finger! I’ll never play the…oh…wait. No, just blood. Ow.”

Let me just say in my defence - there was blood, lots of it and everywhere* including on my nice fluffy white slippers - but not much actually, and the only reason it isn't interferring with work and social things is because I am fantastic, also it's not too bad now actually. Aah, that'll be what he said. *OK not everywhere, just in the kitchen, I pulled myself together quite quickly and wrapped, compressed and elevated.
