Lilliputian toolbox

Yesterday, just before Dr. Who the screw pin holding the bit of my specs that hangs over my ear became loose and popped out.

Luckily the glasses fell apart just as I was taking them off to rub my weary eyes as I've been manically typing my er.. attempt at my novel.

Unluckily this is when I realise how itty bitty tinier-than-a-dust particle the screw pin is.

How I found it on my beige carpet is another story. Needless to say it involved me on my hands and knees, some masking tape, a brush and a cacophony of rude words!

But find it I did! Hooray! Next problem was how to screw the thing in.

Did I mention how tiny this screw pin is? You can just see this dot under the broken bit. That's the screw pin.


Anyway as I didn't have a Lilliputian toolbox kit and as this happened when all the opticians were closed, I had to make do with more masking tape until next week.

So today I shall be going to work sporting me new look. I call it shabby chic glasses.



Bet you can't see where the tape starts and ends, can you? I comfort myself that maybe this will give me the air of a hard-up writer far too busy writing her masterpiece to care. As if.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
