I gave my mug a really good clean this morning. Properly scrubbed, got rid of the patina of tea build-up. Beautiful.

Dried it off and promptly dropped it. Shattered all over the floor.

Now I'm disappointed that no one was there to catch it after the first bounce. It went to all that trouble to defy the laws of physics...

I do enjoy a well-designed mug. I have a few that are worthy of my use (only one is my at-home morning mug, though). On one hand it's challenging to have such particular standards for capacity, wall angle and edge design, but on the other, knowing exactly what I want in a mug keeps me from buying every cute one that I see. One can definitely have too many mugs, as evidenced by the quantities sold at garage, church and rummage sales every summer.

ah, perhaps I was a little... misleading.

The mug didn't break on the first bounce. So we took it back upstairs and lobbed it out again!

Ah, youthful hijinks.

My personal favourite mug is my Starbucks City mug from Barcelona. Perfect size for a really good cup of tea, nice big handle, comfortable to use. Starubucks over here don't really do city mugs other than for London. And it seems a bit... odd to have one of them. Will just have to go travelling again!
