Freak accident

Luckily nothing alive was injured.
I came home from a fine dinner at Tea and Sympathy with the lovely Genevieve Valentine and we heard weird hammering going on either next door or upstairs. Then I noticed one piece of art crooked on the wall in my living room next to my computer and then that a larger, heavier picture was on the floor between couch and cocktail table where I work. I was relieved to see that the glass hadn't broken and Genevieve kindly rehung the photograph on the wall. It wasn't until I sat down that I noticed a long scratch/crack on my 19 inch monitor. Obviously, the framed photograph bounced off the screen onto the floor.

I knocked on the door next door and my new neighbor popped out. I explained what happened and she was quite upset--workers hired by Ikea were installing a wardrobe in her bedroom, which is on the other side of my living room wall. They were hammering away. She told me the worker phoned his manager. She took phone photos of the crack and I looked up information on replacing the monitor. The company is phoning her back tomorrow and we both hope they will take care of this (she has lots of other complaints about them).

I knew today was too easy.
