πŸ˜‚ I so enjoyed reading your exploding chicken story. (And your rude window man story) Not that I wish any more drama and discomfort in your life but bravo for these heavenly distractions! We too had an exploding chicken episode. In my teenage sons room (noodle soup from a metal flask!) I can’t decide if we were lucky that no one was in the house as noodles and chicken hit the ceiling with such force. But as we were away for a week the smell on our return was unholy! Yours in sympathy Miss Tempest xxx

Terrifying! I had a similar experience on holiday this summer involving a thermos bottle of hot chocolate that had been forgotten about for a few days. It exploded with an almighty bang, releasing a truly awful stench like rotten milk and covering every possible surface with tepid hot chocolate. Me, my husband, the walls, the ceiling, every kitchen utensil and surface in sight, it looked like a crime scene. Needless to say, we spent that day of the holiday frantically cleaning and airing the (previously spotless) rental cottage and carried the whiff of rancid milk with us for the rest of the week!
