Things to do with a roll of cling film

Things were going really well last night. I had invented a pattern for a sort of cardigan thing, after all there can only be so many people in the world who want a grey hat, and I started knitting the sleeve, I had to start with the sleeve as that is the only bit of the pattern I have invented so far - I'll worry about the rest of it when that bit is done. At 2am I had had enough and went to make a cup of tea before a bit of sleep. Stupidly, I reached over the kettle to get a tea bag and burnt my arm really horribly. I ran cold water on it , wrapped a wet, cold tea towel round it which was dripping every where so I decided to sellotape the wrapper from Farmer and Grower magazine round it but it hurt so much I couldn't manage the sellotaping. This meant I had to go and wake Carl up; he was half asleep but managed to sellotape the bag on so I went to bed but it throbbed so bad I couldn't sleep. I tried to pull the bag back off which was getting hot and restricting circulation but Carl had managed to tape it very tightly to the hairs on my arms - so I had to get up again and find the scissors to cut it off. This morning it hurt and looked foul - I don't know how people cope with serious burns. Luckily, it is my left arm and I have wrapped my whole arm in cling film which has made it feel better and stopped it getting dirt in it. Not that I have achieved much today and Carl and Sam have been shearing so Westhill Alpacas has been very quiet. A couple of photos to finish with - First is Barry-Norton in the front with Sunbeam behind him and the second is Barry-Norton on his own - - - they are all doing very well!
