Oh, there goes gravity…

A word of advice: never, ever, start preparing diner in your mind the second after you paid for the ingredients at your supermarket. Wait till you´ve returned to the safe environment you call home. I was already dreaming about that great pasta – hmmm, pasta – I was gonna cook tonight while filling my shopping bag. Lost in tasty dreaming, I forgot there´s a three-step staircase going down right before the exit… You get the picture: Solly flat on her face, groceries all over the place, concerned shoppers and manager – are you o.k.?

I got up from the floor (unfortunately it did not open up to swallow me), assured everyone I was o.k., collected my stuff and left the place as graceful as possible in this situation. At home I inspected the damage. My knees are black and painful, one tomato died, but my ego and/or pride is hurt the most…
