Reminding myself Ye've go'ae stonn oo' wi' yer honn oo' (see yesterday's post) I tried to get the extra lighting I need at the university. The access department phoneline said 'Karen is not available' and didn't reply to my message, but the friendly chap on reception couldn't have been more helpful and unplugged an anglepoise-type lamp on his desk and gave it to me. I lugged it up to the classroom and plugged it in only to find it had no bulb in it. Neither of us had thought to look! When I took it back laughing, he said he'd find a bulb and bring it back up. No show. Better luck this week.
I am learning to ask for help.
PS Please tell me, is this too large? I don't usually post photos this big, but I rather hoped you might feel drawn into its fairylike charm if it filled your screen....
