One of those days ...

I bought a new coffee mug the other week, for the first time in a few years. It was clearly marked 'Dishwasher Safe', or I wouldn't have bought it -- handwashing of dishes just doesn't happen around here. I put it in the dishwasher, used it once, put it in the dishwasher again. Today I took it out -- and realized, a few mouthfuls into my cup of coffee, that the glaze and colour were flaking off from the inside of the handle, and the outside glaze was cracked. When I decanted the remaining coffee into another cup, of course it overflowed.

I wanted to crochet on the bus this morning, only to discover that I didn't have the pattern with me. Fortunately, it was in the other bag at home, or I'd have been really put out; it's a motif pattern, and I'm on the first one, so it isn't memorized yet.
