And just as mysteriously, when I get out of the shower, my finger is better. No complaints there.
Waiting for GrandDaughter1 to arrive for our day I decide to clean out the kitchen cutlery drawer. I seem to acquire cutlery. From Uncle, from the apartment, from children from when they were in university. As a result it's a real mish-mash, and I have enough to cater for a regiment. Husband and I both have our favourites, of course.
I'm a fan of the cream-handled old knives. I assume they're not made with ivory any more! I even bought a load from a car boot sale so fond am I of them.And I was on the verge of dropping these (below) in the bin when a little voice said, "You might regret it one day."
I stopped, returned them to the counter and took a photo - always thinking about blogging. Realistically they've been gathering dust in the back of the drawer for years. The likelihood of discovering I need one of them is minute. So I will definitely throw them away. Now in a minute.

But these will definitely go. First into the dishwasher then to a charity shop.
It will create a lot more space in the drawer but a little pain in my heart.
P.S. I've just remembered what the thing that looks like the top of a hot water bottle stopped is, and I mustn't throw it. It's for pulling light bulbs out of inset fittings. I think. Something like that. It can, however, come out of the cutlery drawer and go in Husband's Man Tin.

I winnowed my cutlery drawer a while back and furnished a young freecycler's new apartment with all the cutlery he could use. Amazing how much more there was than needed.
Your donated extra cutlery will make a little money for a charity, keep them out of the trash, and help someone who needs them. Win, win, win.
That "Man Tin" is hilarious!
My forks have mysteriously gone missing. I am down abut half of what should be there. Knives and spoons seem to stay with me forever though.
I cleaned out my "junk" drawer and what a relief it was things kept getting stuck so you couldn't open the drawer all the way.
