fire in maria luisa park (1)[photos courtesy of Diario de Sevilla]

Shocking to learn that last night someone set fire to the Glorieta de Ofelia Nieto in María Luisa Park… for the second time in five days!!! Honestly, what kind of sick fuck does this? I mean, they think it was the same person (or persons). Park officials say they hope to be able to salvage the hedges and repair the ceramics that have sustained serious damages. I know there are a lot worse things going on in the world right now but this is still heartbreaking.

false advertising

So the plastic cutlery holder that hooks onto my dish draining rack fell to the floor and smashed to bits and I thought it would be easy to find a replacement. But nope. Finally I found this one on Amazon and thought, cool, it’s also stainless steel like the rack, and so I bought it. When it arrived I put it on the rack and it looked good. Then I put some cutlery in it and IT ALL FELL THROUGH THE BOTTOM ONTO THE FLOOR. Seriously WFT. I mean, why even make a cutlery holder with that can’t hold any cutlery? And then go out of your way to disguise this fact (clearly this photo was taken on a table) and try selling it? Seems like a lot of trouble for an 8 euro flawed metal basket. Anyhow, got in touch with Amazon to return it and they didn’t even want it back, just said they’d credit my account. Yeah I know, slow news day.  😉
