My dad is bi-polar and as a result we are slightly more 'focused' on odd things that the boys (or I) might do - we all smile about Thomas's OCD tendencies (he smiles too - fortunately) - examples; if any fabric has a nap it has to be smoothed out in one direction, the stools in the kitchen have to be a certain way round and, despite being Italian, he finds spaghetti annoying - just to look at. But then there's me ..... it drives Robert NUTS - when I have a drink, any drink, it has to be in a specific glass/cup/mug etc - and there is one for every drink of the day - I don't see why it causes him so much anxst - here's a quick run through.....
|
Espresso cup for that first coffee of the day |
|
Monday's Child for the Amercian style coffees
which then get me through the morning |
|
Mr Strong for my middle of the afternoon cup of tea
- if it is a normal cup of tea with milk |
|
My posh cup for those hot lemon tea moments |
|
The romagnolo glass for when
we have local Romagnolo red wine |
|
Ikea glass for normal red or white |
|
The Dartington for the bubbles |
|
The new entry for our latest apertivo drink -
prosecco and aperol - summer in a glass |
Not rocket science is it???
I think we are all a little bit like this, have our favourites and our best. I do like you posh tea cup and saucer x.

I just wish I didn't have so many ;)
DeleteI have a huge black glass with goddess on for my drinks - love your collection x
ReplyDeleteOh Goddess....love the sound of that!
DeleteI so wish we had a selection like this!! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is ceratinly a collection - but not exactly coordinated -oh well :)
DeleteMy husband would flatly refuse - simple! I like your style though ;)
ReplyDeleteInstead of refusing, his form of protest is to drink wine from a mug sometimes....the pleasure he gets from seeinge the pain on my face:)
DeleteHA HA! I think this has to be my favourite post of the day. Fantastic!

I think it's great, keeps him on his toes ;) It would be dangerous for me to have favourite mugs though, we break so many!
ReplyDeleteKeeps him on his toes and drives him NUTS :)
DeleteI use the same cup for my tea all day, don't wash, I just keep on refilling it! Lemon tea seems to taste better from quality china though, I agree.
ReplyDeleteTold you I was weird.....
DeleteI think I'd drink everything out of that first cup! I love that one! All I can say is I hope you have a dishwasher. LOL! Hope you have a wonderful day....keeping all your cup/glass selection in order. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds perfectly logical to me, I have a specific 'first cuppa of the day' mug and a collection of similar wine glasses :-D
ReplyDeleteMy daughter seems to have the same habit as you, though I do think hers has more to do with not wanting to wash up!
ReplyDeleteHa ha........this is so funny Kathryn. Love it.....great idea, great cups/mugs/glasses.....
ReplyDeleteAt least you know I'm not really weird.... right????
