I am not sure what I expected to happen when I held a match to the oily greasy old canvas, but you can guess. Mother and grandparents came out and put the fire out. There was not much left anyway. It went up like Hindu's widow.
Children can be fascinated with fire. I was. My parents fault for making me burn up rubbish.

ReplyDeleteyou boys and your arson. I didn't light a match until I was about 12. I was that terrified of my hair catching on fire.
ReplyDeleteNot just boys Andrew, I've always had a thing about fires... now its just candles lol
ReplyDeleteSee Non Blondie. It is not just a guy thing.
ReplyDeleteA fate that every motor mower deserves. (Especially the ones that raise their ugly four-strokes at 8 a.m. on Sunday mornings.)
ReplyDeleteMind your setting fire to a motor mower is small beer compared to the Sth. Melb. candle factory I set fire to decades ago.
Well may they say "A watched kettle never boils" but "An unwatched saucepan of wax wreaks havoc."
(So watch those candles jo.)
Were you wax dyeing your sarong M'lord?
ReplyDeletehahaha... !
ReplyDeleteI can't compete with the lawnmower though. My fires were strictly wood/state forest based. I haven't graduated to machinery arson yet...
Well, I didn't torch the bush Jiminy, but I did chop down a beautiful tree fern with a tomahawk and diverted a creek temporarily.
ReplyDeleteMy light up trick is to constantly set fire to the kettle handle. The one I have now is down to the steel inner in places.
ReplyDeleteI think you can get electric kettles now Jahteh. Surely one would solve your burnt handle problem. Oh, it is an electric kettle that you burn the handle. Turn the gas a bit lower.
