19-02-05 for jude mc.....

you're not alone.

The second casualty of the move happened this morning. Or at least the second casualty I'm aware
of happened this morning. One of the wine glasses we have from the pier, miraculously lept off of
our kitchen table, whilst other items were being packed. This was of course accompanied by the
incredulous "I honestly didn't touch it. It, just, fell?".

Poltergeist?

We once shared the flat with a girl - back in our impoverished student days - who swore, that she
had too much electricity running though her body. "How do you mean", I asked. "Well, whenever I
buy a watch they just stop working". At that point I showed her how to wind it.

In other words there's always a rational explaination. Being superhumanly clumsy would be one example.

I'm sorry about the glass, but this pic, and especially the story, was worth the sacrifice. LOL!

It's those Mexican glasses - don't have the right bounce!

You'll have to go all the way to Mexico to get another set.

Linda's very good at breaking glasses kinetically too! I think it is a feminine talent!

We note with interest that no matter what's going on, no matter how hectic the move, no matter how rushed to complete the packing - nothing is too important to STOP EVERYTHING! and take a PaD shot! Just make sure to leave the computer unpacked until the last so you can upload!

Too bad about the wine glass. At least it wasn't a Swarovski or Waterford.
