Jul. 20th, 2007 05:55 amThis morning, barely awake, I tipped over my favourite mug and it broke into a thousand pieces.
Now I don't want to make a big fuss out of this. Well, maybe I do; but in the last few weeks, friends of mine have lost parents, relatives and friends, and one cup simply does not cut it. But I'm the kind who grows fond of objects, and I liked that cup. And dammit, it was useful. So I'll miss it; and it's a heck of a start to Friday. Did I mention that it's pouring outside?

Date: 2007-07-20 07:37 am (UTC)I do sympathize about your favorite mug, yet at the same time I'm too tempted to offer my right arm for your rain. It rained here for about three minutes, back in March (being a great lover of rainy, foggy weather, I recall this with aching clarity), and there hasn't been a drop since.
A climate swap is probably out of the question, so I'll just hope you find a sunny spot in there soon.
