Dear readers!
I just want to give you an update on the plate as I am even starting to get emails from very friendly people around the globe about this.
People I don’t even know! The wonder of the internet.
The thing is that I have been thinking. Yes I was very attached to this plate.
Because I bought it in London.
Because I came to London with two bags of clothes and nothing else and this was one of the first things I bought starting a new life here.
Because I’ve always had a weak spot for Peanuts and Snoopy.
And then it slipped through my fingers while doing the dishes and it shattered.
I have been thinking if buying the exact same plate on eBay (overpriced and shipped from the US) would somehow work as a replacement.
And I think the answer to that question is no.
No because it just would not be the same.
The plate I dropped can not be replaced, as it was much more than just a plate. It was my plate.
So thank you for all you concern and tips on how to get the same Snoopy plate back but I will leave it.
In stead I will look for a replacement plate in London.
In one of the many charity shops.
Who knows, they might have another Snoopy one.
Or a red plate.
Or a white one with red hearts on it!
A new plate is out there somewhere waiting for me and I am sure I’ll find it.
Contemplate
verb (contemplated, contemplating) 1 to think about; to go over something mentally; to meditate. 2 to look thoughtfully at something. 3 to consider something as a possibility
(PS1 I am still on a write break but felt this needed clearing up! I will return after my holiday, where I hopefully also finally know the results of my operation. The waiting is exhausting me. No bonus points for speed for the NHS in this case.)
(PS2: Did I simply forget the most important thing? The new QOS trailer is online. As in yummy.)
Maybe you’re right about the plate.
There are great Snoopy/Peanuts-plates for sale. I even saw some with hearts on it.

Okay, it’s a Valentine’s and Mother’s Day plate, but that shouldn’t bother you.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday and don’t worry to much about the writing and the NHS-thing. Everything will be all right in time.
Good luck
@Pedro: my holiday starts tomorrow, but I will enjoy it, I am sure! :) I will keep my eye out for a plate.
@Mark: Thanks!
