Drop your shrink, and stop your drinkin', crunchy granola's neat (Neil Diamond)

Wie geht's?

Disaster struck yesterday, when Jacky accidentally smashed my cereal bowl to pieces in the dish washer.

First world problem? Oh fersure! But this was not just any cereal bowl! 

Twenty years ago, when we lived in Cambridge, our neighbour was a potter and we got some great items from her, including my bowl that was perfect for my idiosyncratic methods of cereal consumption.

I like to mix three different kinds of granola/muesli together, add yoghurt and milk and mix that again.

This operation requires specialist equipment, hence the shape of the bowl is key. Like Goldilocks, it has to be just right.

Finding a replacement was tricky. I went to Briscoes (they were having a sale) and eventually found one. Most were either too small, too big, too shallow, no lip, too heavy or in other ways inappropriate.

Having just used it, it will do, but it's slightly too big and doesn't have the lovely colours and patterns that were on Jo's bowl.

Sigh.
