Loot!

Nicolas (the wine shop) let me have one of these! It is a 6 bottle wine box, in which very expensive bottles of Bordeaux are delivered. They did not give me the wine.

Had they given me the wine, though, my desk would not have been transformed from this:To this:
No more relying on a dead printer to stop my books from falling over! No longer will I stare at a pile of floppy disks which I have had no way to read for over a year! No, now I have a "pleasingly modular arrangement" (ReadyMade's words, not mine). All I need to do to complete the transformation is remember to take the printer to the electronics recycling centre...

I must admit, I am already coveting several more boxes. Another three, say, for my desk? Perhaps a few for the kitchen, either stacked or hanging on the wall? Sadly they are pretty hard to come by. I have been popping in to Nicolas (and all the other local wine shops) on delivery day for the last two weeks, and this is my first hit. Oh well, patience is a virtue, as they say.
