1st of the 5th, about 52s

Well a new month has started without any major problems.
Not sure why I wanted to start today's blog posting like that, but I've done it now.
My sexy new cards have arrived and they are gorgeous! I'm very impressed with how quickly they arrived, and I have to say the designs are stunning. So artistic and so aesthetically pleasing. And the way they move through your hands while shuffling and dealing are like handling liquid velvet, in card form. (if you see what I mean).
You would think that one pack of cards would be pretty much the same as any other, but my God these are like working with a completely different product. It's like reading a cheap newspaper and then handling a leather-bound volume of Dickens; or it's like holding a slice of cheap supermarket burger cheese and then getting your hands on a wheel of roquefort; or it's like dancing with a clumsy, drunk, overweight madman and then getting to work with Ginger Rogers; or like licking a stagnant puddle and then licking a bowl of ice cream; or like licking the top of a 9V battery and then being hooked directly into the electricity mains; or like laying on a bedsheet made of polyester and then sleeping in Egyptian cotton.
Well, you get the idea...
(Just don't tell Philippa how much they cost me...)
