As displacement activity for the desk work I should've tackled, I thought "Why don't I get that bronze bust down from the shelf and clean it up, wipe down a book or two, make things ship-shape before I set sail on the real work?"
So I did.
"Nice work this. She should do more of these. I wonder if anyone I know needs their head modelling in bronze?"
"Hang on a minute.... Where did all those rolled-up ten pound notes come from?"
My partner, the sculptor and portrait artist who made the bust, isn't home yet. She doesn't yet know I found £450 I stuffed in that head about four years ago "for a rainy day".
Hive mind, you have one hour to choose. Will it be the secondhand industrial sewing machine? The Cafe du Cycliste outfit? Blow it all on dinner with friends? Stick it back in the head and hope I'm dusting when we next clean those shelves?
You now have fifty-four minutes.
