I just made some coffee, poured it into the cup, picked the cup up and then the handle just came off…I was left holding the handle with the cup smashed on the floor and the coffee on the floor too.
That’s really strange,I guess there was some structural weakness in the ceramic,or maybe just used it too much.The handle snapped right off without really putting any pressure on it.
Do you often break stuff at home? Like cups, plates, glasses? I mean by accident not deliberately throwing them at the wall 😉
It seems like the Tennessee valley is surrounded by places hit much harder from the winter storm. It’s good to live in a valley in the winter I guess (as long as the entrances aren’t in the direction of the prevailing winds).
We am going to Turkey today, so I had the leftover mapo tofu from dinner for breakfast. Honestly it slaps. Spicy breakfast is delicious.
Unfortunately my husband is a bit sniffly. He still decided to come with me so it’s not too terrible, but sub optimal I guess.
Once I was coming back from Israel and I was so, so sick. Like proper fever and pain and everything. My ears hurt so much during that flight, I thought I would go deaf.
Do you have any memories of having to travel while sick? It’s very nasty.
It seems that the US embassy to Denmark has decided to remove Danish flags with the names of fallen soldiers that were placed outside (and not on its premises to my knowledge).
It is *faaaar* from the the worst thing they have done, but it is still immensely disrespectful. Just wow
Apparently today is the 10th anniversary of Rihanna’s album Anti, which means she hasn’t released an album in a decade now. Such a shame she hasn’t been releasing music, but it is what it is I guess. I liked Anti when it was released, I even went to see Rihanna live in summer of 2016, but I haven’t listened to the album in many years and it’s not my favourite from her. I like Loud better.
Anti is a good album though, and surprisingly hasn’t aged that badly. I’m listening to some of the hits now, Kiss it Better, Work, Needed Me, etc, and they all sound great still. In period I remember thinking that the trap influences, rolling hi-hats and all that, will age poorly. And generally they have, I think the sound is way too overused and just doesn’t sound fresh anymore. But it’s not bad on Anti, and some songs like Work are giving more like tropical house than trap anyway. Also very much of its era, of course.
I’m hoping Rihanna will release music again, but I guess selling lingerie is more lucrative.
