« His Nibs is away... | Nasty Monday »
@ 2008-04-27 – 17:37:33
His Nibs is back from his weekend away.
While making his tea he's managed to break my martini glass.
It was in the kitchen waiting to be washed up.
It was a Christmas present from a friend about six years ago. Had gold leaves painted on it. We've fallen out now, but I've always been very fond of it and it reminded me of when we were great friends.
And besides, it held a walloping quantity of martini.
Never mind. It could have been worse.
It could have been full.
You crack me up!

Seriously... I'm shattered. *oh all right, I'm planning a shopping trip and demanding he pays for whatever I choose to replace it with!*
You know deana, I've found in the past when tensions have been high, something gets broken, as if it earths it out.
Once after an intense argument with my late husband - whilst he was still alive, not into Ouija, and no, it wasn't his last ever argument! - it took a cat to come into the kitchen and Charlie, my beloved little Jack Russell, now also gone, to chase it all over the place, causing it to break a bowl on the draining board. It was the first breakage of an extensive and not cheap crockery set I'd built up before I met my husband, and I wouldn't usually have left it to drain. Synchronicity, in my experience, there's more to it.
So, I'm wondering, you might bump into the friend again soon. You never know. Oooo-eeee-oooo, step into the Twighlight Zone.
Ok. I'd better stop talking blox and get some chores done. Meh!
Bye for now deana 
deana24
ooh, interesting idea. I'll let you know if I run into her.

Pro True - it's only a thing after all - the worst aspect of breaking a glass is finding the bits for weeks afterwards
deana24
Yeah, and knowing how shortsighted he is I won't be preparing any food round that part of the work tops for a while either.

Pro I'll bet it would be filled to the brim with a Singapore Sling too... 
deana24
A Singapore Sling, I've not had one of those for years. Yummy. I'm going to go have a deck for a replacement tomorrow lunch time. It's a priority purchase!
deana24
That's supposed to be a cat rolling about!! It does look a bit like a hamster and I'm not entirely sure it works anyway... it does seem to spend rather too long on it's back! Oh well.
blayka
Perhaps it's a catster who's had too much Singapore Sling...
deana24
It does look a bit cata(gin and)tonic!
I thank you! *takes a bow, ducks flying cabbages and tomatoes*
Tentativeplotfinder
Nah... I want the cabbage and tomatoes for my dinner tonight.
deana24
Fair enough - I'll take a custard pie then!
Tentativeplotfinder
That's more like it. A squelchy one or a well set and solid one?
deana24
Oooh squelchy with lots of whipped cream I can wipe from my eyes for full comic effect.
Tentativeplotfinder
One very squelchy custard pie coming through....
Right.......about...............Now!!!!
deana24
Oh.. I ducked. It's those cat-like reflexes. Never mind, it looks great on Nibs and he actually likes custard tart.
Tentativeplotfinder
I'm glad it suits him!!

Pro Try a Gin Fizz between a couple of Slings for that extra little buzz... 
deana24
This is going to be a lot of gin *hussah!*
Usksider
Pro Nushing wong wiff dat.....
MissyMouse
I have a favourite glass too!
It's a complete blow when it gets broken as until you get a good replacment you don't seem to enjoy your fave tipple properly do you?
Let us know when you find the right glass to replace it with 
deana24
I will, for sure. I'm thinking something in crystal with a handsome stem - that'll teach him to be careless!
here ya go Treacle ave this one!!
deana24
I don't mean to sound ungrateful but... eewww! I know its a glass of hearts but I was thinking something a little more, err classic!
Women...your never bloody happy
here!!
deana24
Good try but I was thinking something more redolent of the 1930s *feel free to throw hissy fit at this point, you won't be surprised to hear I'm used to it!*
Save your lallies deana, get a pint glass, hard to tip over and holds loads of your favourite so there's less time going for refills, more time for drinking. Sorted.
It's strange isn't it how the wrong weight/thickness of glass alters the enjoyment of a drink. Get over it, quantity not quality in the third millenium! Only joking, should be pleasure all the way through 
Hope you find just the right size/weight/teehee, he's paying cost. Enjoy your shop!
*DRUMS FINGERS*
deana24
Now that I quite like - classic, simple... crystal?
of course!!!
just trying to zero in on the right one...how about this...crystal of course..
deana24
No, the one above is better, the stem is too heavy on that one.
* mutter splutter moan whinge frashing tashing grrrr *
Ok!!! this must be the one!!!!
