Outer work

After my day of sidelong glances I got back in the fishbowl helmet and various forms of dust proceeded to fly hither and thither. The whole has now been shaped, cooked up and given an initial polishing. My next task is to fit the drawer in its slides and make some suitable bits of reinforcement for the interior of the carcass. Despite having a drawer full of screws I didn't have any the right size for that.
I was testing out one of the solar lights from our stairway yesterday and forgot I had stuck the batteries from the camera in it, so I had to get out and retrieve them. Two out of three of the lights had died due to some kind of moisture intrusion or battery failure this was the sole survivor.
