1. (Or, how a diet can make you bleed)
For lunch, I decided to have a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. I reached up above the draining board for the cereal box. As I pulled it out, the circular bread-board that was leaning quietly yet precariously against it, tilted and rolled. I reached up to stop it falling from the shelf, inadvertently knocking an empty jar off said shelf. This fell to the marble counter top and, amazingly, didn't smash. It did, however, knock another glass - one of my favourite glasses, given to me by my sister - off the marble counter and, in slow-motion, it fell to the floor, smashing so spectacularly that glass shot from one end of the kitchen to the other - some of it getting embedded in my foot on the way. Damn.

I leant down to put my memory stick into my PC, and, because of not paying proper attention, managed to instead wedge it deep into my floppy drive.

3. (Or, It was so kind of you, but really. Did you have to?!)
Met up with my old boss last night for dinner. It was lovely to see her again, and catch up on old times. And she bought me a present. Now, I'm not much of a present person. It's a kind thing to do, buy people presents, but while I love giving presents, I'm not so keen on receiving. Anyway, I told a mate I'd post a picture of the present I received because it's just so... not to my taste. If you know what I mean.
