Pro tip for anyone living alone: Put away all but one of each thing, so that if you need an item and it's dirty, you have to clean it. Learned that trick a decade ago and I went from Mount Everdish to pretty much nothing.

Depication? I think you meant depiction?

I have a drying rack that doesn't open wide enough to slot plates in it. I did manage to fit a chopping board in it, just... Then I heard a crash a few minutes later as it had popped out and jumped out the window.

Fortunately there was scaffolding outside, which I could get onto from a window on the other side. Going up and over the roof to fetch the chopping board gave me the chance to check out the new apartments they're building up there.

At least they're clean dishes on the drying rack and not dirty ones in the sink!
