dressing gown + gas stove = badness

so i set my dressing gown on fire this morning. i was innocently trying to boil some water and the sleeve of my robe caught on the flames from the stove. which jumped to the side of the robe before i beat it out, leaving a surprisingly undamaged dressing gown. except for a small slightly browned patch and the smell of singed fabric.

this experience was rather alarming.

i have concluded that i shouldn't cook in clothes with big baggy sleeves anymore.
