Delete1. Nearest living thing would be one of my neighbours in the next suite.
ReplyDelete2. Woolly lining of my slippers.
3. A photo of My Rare One and me taken in Maui last year.
4. Two -- the digital clock on my computer screen, and my watch.
5. The oldest thing within my immediate vicinity is a statue I bought my Mom for some occasion or another when I was a teenager. So it would be around 45 years old now. No, wait -- an antique tortiere is even closer -- my parents gave it to me for my birthday 37 years ago but the lamp and shade themselves probably date from (I'm guessing) the 1920s or 1930s?
Lots of family connections.
DeleteI’m in a cafe, so my answers are skewed...
