That top one...yes, that's the one, near exactly. For some reason I'm thinking "green stain", but, well, my memory is reliable only insofar as it considers failure to recall something from stores sufficient reason for it to get creative.

Cheers,

Now that's funny, I thought they were coloured too and I think mine may have been blue

I think my father may have used one at home. I'll ask mum, as I wouldn't mind putting his fountain pens in it.

I'm sure mine was dovetailed and very plain and it had that bashed around, well-used patina look.

I also recognize this one that had a ruler as the sliding lid.

It seems it was a good basic design, because someone is still making them in this example.

That kind of thing?

Last night I dreamt I went bowling. It must have been 10 pin because we used the big balls with the holes in them.

The bowling pins were those blowup puch-em-down clowns. The ball had to hit them in just the right spot and they deflated. The puppy worked as a pin girl, running up and removing any deflated clowns.

I then went to visit a friend who lives beside a lake. He'd build a new living room addition that went out over the water. The floor was exactly level with the lake. There were no walls, and probably no roof but I didn't look up. It was reminiscent of those swimming pools that end in the sky/horizon. It would be very easy to take a swim or to just stumble into the lake. The furniture being out in the open was of no concern at the time.

They had a new private chef called VR. They were lauding his culinary expertise so I went out to the kitchen to find something to eat. I couldn't find any food so I opend about a hundred cupboards which were all empty. I finally opened a wee cupboard about 3 inches by 3 inches and found 2 pieces of wilted lettuce inside. Then I woke up.

I often dream about food. Whenever I go looking for it it disappears. If I do find some, it looks good from afar but when I get near enough to eat it it resembles nothing like food. This is very frustrating. The part of my brain that visualizes close-up food must be asleep.

Well If I could find my copy of SignPosts I'd look up that whole missing food thing for you, WDE.

But I can't find it. Sorry. Not on a diet are you? (Weird Dieting Existentialist)

No, not on a diet, just on a budget that won't allow my favourites.

I had a budget once but I found it a bit small to get on and ride. Oh hang on that was a Budgie, my mistake

BTW, these make good backyard coffins for dead pet budgarigars, cockateels, mice/rats, hampters, etc.

Sorry, WDE (Wild Dream Evocator), but I saw that you were coming and I felt compelled to protect the groceries from wanton consumption. So I hid them behind the green screen that we used to project the image of the lake (the house was actually a flat on 7th avenue and there was a drop of about 23 stories to the Manhattan street level - good thing you didn't go for a swim).
