My pretty glass, all shattered, sigh

I broke one of my wineglasses! Aaaagggghhhhh!!

I've had half this set of wineglasses and water goblets for over 18 years. They've made it through 12 moves. I'd never broken one before today. I was trying to put away dishes, and had a bowl slip and fall and smash one that was sitting on the counter waiting to be handwashed. (Because I hate doing that and I procrastinate.)

I suppose it may be silly, but I feel awful.

Now I feel nervous about using any of my pretty glass stuff.

Eighteen YEARS...

Duncan Robinson, director of the museum, said: "It was a most unfortunate and regrettable accident but we are glad that the visitor involved was able to leave the Museum unharmed.

What a marvelous example, though, of the difference between US and UK culture. Can you imagine if that had happened at an American museum? There'd be lawsuits for years.
