This really was a mess

I heard the yell and then laughter in the kitchen, so I eased myself down from my Condo to see what was going on, and arrived in the kitchen to see raspberry-jam coloured splatter.....

.... on the bench

....on the walls

....on the toaster

....on the knife block

...dripping down the kitchen cupboards

... on the floor.  

On the floor there was a large V-shaped clean patch where clearly F had been standing when the mess exploded outwards.  Strangely she didn't appear to have any of it on her front.  She is either Teflon (that's a trademark by the way, and it doesn't belong to me) coated, or some of that legendary 'luck of the Irish' must have visited our kitchen just as the blender's revenge was perpetrated.

F uses the kitchen whizz thing to chop up all the fruit and veg scraps for our compost system, and it had clearly had enough of that.  Today it 'spat the dummy', 'threw its toys out of the pram', 'cut up rough'. 

F had cleaned quite a bit of the up the wet smelly beetroot-splurge ammunition before it occurred to me to ask her to photograph the remaining mess so that I could blog about it.


So there you have it.

    1. She thinks it might have sprayed out either side of the lug holding the lid on, but force field could be another possibility. At least she was laughing when i arrived to inspect. Furrings and purrings Mr T

  3. oh no, first you are flooded then you are spat upon! thanks for reminding her we needed a photo. I have not had that happen, but try dropping a glass jar of peach jam from waist hieght on a tele floor. exploded about 4 or 5 feet and contained glass, Beau doesn't have shoes, i put mine on and he could not understand why he could not lick up the mess and had to leave the kitchen.

  4. So Beau likes peach jam? Tile floors aren't kind to dropped glass and ceramic things. F wanted to own fewer things and that's happening reasonably quickly now we have tiled floors.

  5. It's not the explosion it's the bloody clean-up that brings on the swearing . At least F will have a clean kitchen for a while

    1. That's true. She did have to dig into some less visited corners, and looked more closely at the trim on the cupboard doors than she has done for a while. From my eye level i can see that dust collects.... xxx Mr T
