i need a strong CAT6 cable. no, not for transferring data. but to wring around hubby’s neck.

this morning was an early start. jan is joining a kindergarten excursion to a vegetable farm, and as i couldn’t keep my eyes open even after the morning coffee, it was hubby who prepared jan for school. he cooked their breakfast of scrambled eggs and baked beans. perfect.

when i woke up, i ate their leftovers on the table and after some time online, i made myself ready for an OB appointment at midday. all ok, had a light lunch with hubby, and went on to do some grocery shopping. went home, and for the first time today, i entered the kitchen.

“geez, is it warm in here”, i thought. and as i reached to the cupboards above the stove, i saw it: a little flame has been left burning.

it’s been burning for hours. while i slept. while i was out. while i was eating lunch. while i was shopping. all morning, that little flame was burning.

what if there’d been a strong gust of wind, and that flame was blown off? the gas would have continued to leak.

shudder.

in the philippines, april is fire prevention month. please do take extra care.
