Chilli out

The guy at the plant shop warned us NOT to buy this plant. 'Don't touch your eyes!' he barked. 'It'll blind you!'

Ha, ha!

Evidently this little red beauty here is HOT. A proper Indian chilli, not a sorry-ass English one. Proper.

Does it not look potent? I think it totally does look potent, as if to warn us and other animals off. Indeed that is presumably the purpose of the vibrant red and serious spice, to warn off unwanted visitors.

So, just in case, I'm NOT touching my eyes, nor am I even touching it, some things are better seen and not touched.

CERRUNCH...

AARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
