Very long time lurker here. Maybe for 15 years, maybe longer, both on the old forum and this newer one. I've never posted because I don't have the time to reply not that anything ever Fortean has happened to me. I really enjoy the reading rather than posting and I feel that over time I've got to know so many posters quite well although, obviously, they don't know of me. Does that make me a silent stalker of types?
The moderation on this forum really is superb. It's refreshing and I take my hat off to the moderators.
Anyway, teaspoons. I live in my two bedroom flat. I am a minimalist of sorts. I have only what's needed and in my home I am private. It's my home, my space, and I am so happy here. I'm not anti social at all in anyway but when it comes to my flat, I have few visitors. Maybe close friends from time to time but no one else.
The kitchen is sparse. A few saucepans, frying pan, etc. Usual stuff but no gizmos. Kettle yes, coffee maker, blender, etc, no. Two plates, two mugs, two of this and two of that and so on. And.... two tea spoons. I only ever use one of course as there's only me most of the time. I've had those two teaspoons for years.
Last Friday I got up for work, showered and all that and then made myself a cup of tea to relax before starting the day proper. Tea bag in cup, kettle boiled, water in mug, milk added and I went to take the tea spoon that is used everyday off the draining board and no teaspoon. I thought it odd and also thought of this thread and decided, no, I cannot be the victim of the bewildering teaspoon fairy. That evening after work I looked everywhere for that teaspoon and nope, it had gone but where to? There's no places it could fall down behind either. I have few possessions, almost empty cupboards in the kitchen, almost no furniture and I hadn't used the washing machine and all socks were present and correct. I even checked the rubbish bin and still no teaspoon.
Tonight I get home from work about an hour ago and make myself hot milk with turmeric and ginger. Yummy. I go to take the other spoon off the drainer to stir it all up and no teaspoon. I used a dessert spoon instead. This thread then sprang to mind again and I thought noooooooooooooo. I used that teaspoon this morning. I have just spent 30 minutes trying to find that spoon and no, it's gone but where?
I am now teaspoonless. It feels odd. There is no rational explanation.
