So, the summer’s quite definately here. It is somewhat ‘hot’. We’ve lost the duvet (just an empty duvet cover on the bed now), a fan runs at night trying to keep us cool, and in the lounge we have the potential for a 1930s diorama.
The fan in the lounge is finicky (to put it midly), needs it’s motor rebuilding because it’s sintered metal bearing, the fan’s cord is probably 1950s, because it’s proper rubber, not PVC, but it’s all good, because it works nicely (once you’ve got the motor’s axle positioned appropriately in the bearing) and I love the fact that it works really rather well.
Of course, it’s joined in the potential diorama by the gramophone records and player, and really, if we extend a little further, the UK’s first model of ‘modern’ steam iron, and a hoover junior…
