...I announce the death of my 'Rita: Queen Of Speed' mug.
Bought at the Rita opening in 2005 in the presence of a gathering of fellow enthusiasts, the overly-large mug (more of a soup bowl, really) has served me well for over 7 years. But alas, today whilst eating some Minestrone soup out of it, I noticed the handle was about to break off and a small test of its strength resulted in it breaking off with hardly any effort at all.
Anyway it's in the bin now. Could have used it to plant something in as a reminder, but I couldn't bare to look at it as such a sad shadow of its former-self.
There'll be a new star in the sky tonight...
