So, I was making some food (sausage and eggs) around 10:45 this morning.
The sausages were making a fair bit of smoke so I went to close the kitchen
door as to not set off the smoke detector. I gave the door a solid push to
shut it, and along with firmly closing the handle fell out. Its an old door
/ handle and it came out in such a way that there was no way for me to
temporarily reattach my side to open the door.
I was seriously contemplating going down the fire escape which there is
access to from the kitchen to get to the other side where the main part of
the door handle was so that I could open the door. I even had my house keys
in my pocket so I was set.
Before I went down the fire escape in my slippers I decided to make one final
attempt at getting the door open. I pushed the handle of a spoon in the crack
between the door and the frame and was able to unhook the latch that goes into
the wall.
All in all it was a bit stressful but problem solved. The smoke detector
did not go off and I did not burn my food. That was my fun morning. |
