I burnt my fingers last night on a steel bowl that I put in the oven to warm up, and then foolishly forgot about. They're not badly burnt, but now my finger pads are all smooth and every time I touch something it feels strange, like everything's dusty.

Because I know you're all agog. The lawnmower we were given belonged to a very old lady called Miss Dale, one if my friend's old gardening clients. She recently went into a home, after living alone all her life. I never met her, but I feel like I know her from all the stories my friend has recounted about Miss Dale over the years. Very well-spoken, she used to teach the classics at university, and even in her late 80's would trot down the path with tea and biscuits and do bit of weeding with him, in between discussions of art, philosphy and literature. She kindly offered to donate us her lawnmower, seeing as she won't need it anymore. Thinking about her breaks my heart a little bit. All I can say is thank you, Miss Dale, for giving us your beautifully maintained Qualcast Panther, electric model.
