You say tomato, I say... ow

Here are a few things I discovered yesterday:

1) Tomato sauce makes for a very poor floor polish. This was learned shortly after discovering...

2) When a container of scalding hot fluid starts to spiral out of control the last thing you want to do is to try and catch it regardless of what your reactions are telling you.

3) A little tomato sauce can go a very long way indeed. Or at least cover a considerable surface area... such as the the length and breadth of the kitchen floor, numerous work surfaces, cupboard doors and a goodly portion of my arm, leading to

4) Pain hurts... though, fortunately I escaped with only a few minor scalds since I was next to a tap and spent several minutes with my arm under a stream of cold water, whist all the while tomato sauce was gently congealing around me.

5) Congealed tomato sauce is really something of a nuisance to clean.

This has been a public service announcement.
