A Brush With Darkness (Part I)

For reasons we needn’t explore now, I do my morning ablutions in the dark. Some people think this is a good way to improve nocturnal vision; I think it’s a good way to sustain bruises, flesh wounds and first-degree burns.

Not being a bat or carrot-munching ninja, negotiating a lightless bathroom poses problems. First, I crack a shin on the toilet. Then I shave off huge chunks of skin and half-a-sideburn. As for regulating the water temperature in the shower …

But the real fun begins when I brush my teeth, and mistake a tube of Savlon for the Colgate.

    The problem is, sometimes I do that type of stuff with the lights on :-)
