Before my shower, I stood in the kitchen brewing up a nice cup of tea to settle me down before sleep.
It occurred to me, whilst I was watching the tea spoon fail to sink as it rested athwart the most buoyant teabag in the history of er... teabags, that I am one of two people who can say without fear of contradiction that we have a boxed TARDIS, and inflatable shark, two plastic eyeballs in an ancient jar of hair gel1 and an X-Files Erlenmeyer Flask, complete with alien phoetus sitting in the kitchen.


X-Files Flask on left. Real Erlenmeyer Flask on right. The boring one.
We also have a potted plant called Bilbo.
I daresay that many kitchens out there have one or some of these items, but I am reasonably certain that only The Carpathia can boast them all.
Life is grand.
