[Closed] Boiling water burn - my fault and a warning.

Out for a walk on Saturday with the family and we always like to take our kelly kettle for a brew up somewhere nice. Got the fire going and getting cups ready when I realised I had stupidly left the cork in, it had only been on a few minutes. I gingerly pulled the plug and BOOM it fired water and steam at high pressure over my hand and thigh. Just a stupid oversight on my part, something I've never done before. I know none of you are silly enough but don't leave the cork in for a second once you've lit it!
Long walk back to the car in my pants with nothing left to cool it down and in agony. Wrist and leg are a bit of a mess and I have a NATO strap mark as clear as day, even burnt tiny sizing hole marks. Thankfully after a visit to burns no surgery is needed. Even more thankful that my kids were at a safe distance.
Holed up in my bed in the study, as I can't risk the wife throwing her limbs about. Finishing 'Flood of fire' which is how it feels!
