Cult Pens are Dangerous!

Bear's pencils from Cult Pens arrived today. They are the limited edition, 20th anniversary special metallic pencils from Derwent and they look gorgeous. They are in a fancy box which, for a change, is lovely and sturdy. The pencils came in a lovely padded envelope with a free small pack of haribo sweeties and a paperclip attached to the shipping note. I suspect they are promoting the adorable paperclip.

I suspect that the incredibly reasonable prices, excellent service and the free sweeties, cute paperclips and sheet advertising ridiculously expensive pens makes Cult Pens the stationery equivalent of IKEA - awesome stuff but you come away with far more than expect to get.

There's been some rain, and it came running down our street like a river. I'm quite proud that I managed to black out the number plates. This is normal for most people, but I'm feeling more challenged than normal.

It drained quite quickly, and just left a few large puddles. Unfortunately the puddles are perfectly placed to make getting in and out of the passenger side of the car impossible without swimming gear.

Hugs to all.
