I’m still in mourning. I did just order this to help ease the pain – http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=MU505

Jonesy, I appreciate the sentiment – an interim affair might be just what I need.

Graham – my old mug would understand. It knows it will never be replaced, but it wouldn’t want me to be alone.

How could you?

All mugs have their charms, but you need to leave it a while before commiting to another – the memory of this one is still too fresh (and richly aromatic) in your mind.

The right mug always comes along when you least expect it.

That way you can keep your old friend even in semi-retirement.

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:11:08 +0000 http://www.alanbaxteronline.com/?p=5783#comment-34179 So sorry for your loss, Alan – I get the whole favourite mug thing, I don’t know where I’d be without mine.

Big hugs and I hope you can find a suitable replacement that you will eventually grow to love as much as this one. X
