My study is looking a bit more like a study with some extra boxes in, rather than one of those rental storage places. And I actually found two things I was looking for this morning, where I looked for them, first time! The new reel of necklace wire, in a tub brought up from the ground floor to the first (or first to the second, if not UK), and an old reel of nylon thread, in a set of office drawers my mother kept her needlework things in. Trouble is I think that is too fine for the beads, and I will have to buy some more anyway.
Clock winding day today. After I have spent weeks trying to stop my grandmother's clock running slow, I seem to have over compensated. It can't be the weather, as the heat would lengthen the pendulum and slow it, which has happened to my mother's leaving school clock downstairs.
