I bought some new cutlery today

(http://www.tesco.com/direct/alessi-cutlery/ in case you wanted to see it.) I don't normally do these collecting coupon things, because I tend to think they're just rubbish stuff, but these looked so lovely on the stand I saved my coupons. Today I bought a set of 4 of each and oh my they are nice. They feel grand and have a lovely heft to them. And googling to find a picture of them I found the Alessi website selling them at ridiculous prices. £90 for 6 knives ridiculous.

And I realise that getting rapturous over cutlery is ludicrous but oh you should feel them!

In other news there are still Our Boys tickets available and I want to go again and am trying to talk myself out of it, but half of me is also trying to talk myself into it. I guess either way I'll win...

I have to go back to work tomorrow after a week off, and have been in 'feeling sick every time I think about it' mode all day. A lottery win would be so nice.

Now, shall I watch The Women in Black, Dalziel and Pascoe or Lewis.

Oh, they do look nice! Our supermarket is doing coupons for glassware at the moment, and I take my coupons when they give them to me and try to pass them on to someone who's actually collecting. Before that it was knives. Nothing as nice as yours!

Oh I LOVE nice cutlery. You don't sound silly at all, it's one of the NICEST things. The thing I judge restaurants/cafes for more than ANYTHING is the state of their cutlery, sometimes you go to places that have gone to so much trouble to pretend to be posh or nice or whatever, and then they give you really light tinny cutlery and I hate it.

I have a thing for cutlery and dinnerware, so I understand *completely.* A beautiful pattern with a great feel is a thing of joy.

Nice. Simple and elegant.

I hope you watched Dalziel and Pascoe. I love the TV shows and the books.
