    In serious pain and trying to keep a lid on verbal reactions to it, lol.

    I have a bit of housework to do 😮 there's loads!!

    When my daughter was little I'd say, don't worry, the cleaner will be in later ☺️

    My distraction is refurbishing/restoring antique/vintage oil lamps…..I get to do a lot of it especially since the huge "announcement" this week. Today I did some as normally don't on a Sunday and then will be playing Guild Wars 2 while watching Inspector Morse!

    Here my most recent 'large' projects…..a Hinks No. 2 Duplex with etched globe and clear reservoir/font on a Hinks Brass corinthian column and stepped base.

    Overall about 20 hours as I completely **** down the burner, put it (the burner) through an ultrasonic cleaner, then use a dremel for reminder of cleaning and polish. Then I move onto the brass on the reservoir/font, the column and base. I also do a deep but gentle clean of the reservoir/font, flue/chimney and the shade no matter what kind it is.

    I normally have up to 5 projects on the go due to the various steps.

    Thank You for the compliment ☺️

    Haha, oh I'd forgotten about that scene, thanks for the reminder! I'm sure I'll be quoting that in the garden now and driving everyone up the wall. 😆
