Kitchen catastrophe

Jul 14, 2010 22:32

No flaming toast or spontaneously defrosting freezer. Oh no.

The cupboards have fallen off the wall. The floor is a sea of cracked crockery. On the upside, I am now glad it was so fugly.

apple's house is falling down

I love that you never do things by halves...

Embrace it - pick up the bigger remaining pieces and smash them too! Go Greek!

(Srsly - I hope there's no injuries and it's not too expensive to fix...)

Technically, I didn't do anything. My taste for the dramatic must be rubbing off on inanimate objects.

I'm contemplating a giant mosaic of hideous 70s ceramics.

(It's not so bad, and no-one was there when it happened. We're going through stuff at gran's (not fun but it has to happen), so there's another kitchen in full working order, and nothing that got damaged mattered on an economic or emotional level.)

Oooh, fugly 70's mosaics! I love those. Shame about the cabinets though. I'm glad no one was hurt.

Shame about the cabinets though.

Not really - they were pretty fugly, too.

Argh!! o_0

You know, this is a really big fear of mine. But... I guess it's a good excuse to buy less fugly crockery?? Will any insurance cover it?

I think it means the 'nice stuff' that never gets used and fortunately lives in the dresser instead will be allowed out to play. I can't imagine that the now-broken horrors were worth anything.

Wait - that only happens in the movies!!

Glad no one (or nothing major) was injured! So do you get to buy bunches of new pretty crockery?

Bristol is the home of British paranormal drama. Afterlife was filmed about five minutes away, and Being Human isn't so much further. Maybe this is why? It saves on the special effects budget if your set spontaneously self-destructs.

I think it means we raid the 'for best' china instead.

Um...WHAT? I'm glad you can see the upside, and I assume that means nobody was injured.

So, crockery beads then? ;)

applebeing July 15 2010, 11:05:21 UTC

That was my initial reaction, but seeing that there were no maimings of persons or anything really important, it's not so bad.

Unless the pieces have sprung holes, I'm thinking not so much beads as cabochons. I could bezel them all for the annual ugly necklace contest...

This may not be the correct response, but I'm impressed.

I mean, you don't hear that every day. Plus, all that broken crockery will be fun to play with. (I vote for the mosaic option).

applebeing July 15 2010, 11:31:51 UTC

Impressed I like.

I believe there are some tesserae lurking somewhere, too, so a bucket of grout and a little imagination, and I should be able to make something truly hideous deeply intriguing.
