For some time now I have believed that if I need something specific for a job around the house or yard I can just go out looking for it, and I will find it.

I've been thinking of making myself a new violin case, suitable for storing my instrument without having to take the shoulder-rest off. (I'm not that lazy, it's just that at present I have to grab every opportunity I can, so I play for short periods sometimes 5 or 6 times a day. I leave the shoulder-rest on and sit it in its case with the lid open. Call me obsessive-compulsive, but I'd rather have it closed.)

I have the wood and the foam rubber, but what I would like is some baize to line the padding, so now (yes, right now) I am going out looking for some baize. I'm thinking green, but the maroon stuff will do.

I think that's sufficiently specific and obscure to raise eyebrows, but at the same time I am aware that finding it or not finding it will prove nothing.
Clouds? They just come & go.
