Two new additions

This morning Leo and I set out with two goals - buy a desk and find something to hang on our wall. I'm pleased to report that we succeeded on both fronts. Since we had to leave our amazing 7 foot wooden sculpture (what we like to refer to as our Louis Nevelson) behind in the care of Leo's parents, we thought that we needed a new art piece which would elicit confusion and bewilderment in guests to our flat. So, we felt a World War II gas mask would do the trick. We also found a simple oak table to serve as our desk, which fits perfectly in our living room. And Leo bargained for both, making this a happy and economical day.

Well, may be it is as striking as your Louis Nevelson it is much smaller than it, so when you go somewhere else it will be easier to find a place for it.

Dudes,

The jews didn't get gas masks in WW2 so I find your purchase a little revisionist.

I bought a painting.

But as we are now British, it's ok. Most of England was issued gas masks by the government.
