Have you ever noticed a small knobbly bit on the top of a post box and wondered why it's there? Well, here's the answer: it once held a double-sided sign which pointed towards the nearest post office, like this one in Lennoxtown on the outskirks of Glasgow. Most of these sign-holders have been damaged over the years, leaving just the central attachment point, and very few retain their original signs.

At Moti Cafe in River North. We often go here after Church on Sunday for Chai and snacks. It is the only place you can get a good authentic chai in Downtown Chicago.

Always worth remembering this. Saw this sign last weekend at Middle East Bakery in Andersonville, Chicago. It is a great Arabic grocery store with a small restaurant attached to it. They make many things fresh, including some good spice mixes.

I think this is possibly the most "West End" sign I've come across in Glasgow for a while! 🙂

Some shots from me hand making fancy lightbulbs to sell fancy things to fancier people on a nearby overcrowded castle surrounded by a moat :)

The Novial yellow Italian glass is really nice, but it's thin- so it cools off faster, and is more crackative. Make those bends perfect!

The yellow glass turns red when it's hot- so you can see the last bends.

Two N s here are in the name of the castle. Laid out slightly differently. Can you spot the difference between them?

A closed N with my anti fatigue mats and ribbon burner with puffy flame in the background
The N on the pattern two heats later. Gotta close it up with two more bends after this. You can see my pencil, block, file an pattern in the background. Not many tools used
Second N. Ribbon burner puffy flame in the background. The puffy flame is gentle- and good for heating a large area up. It's nice for pre or post heating tight bends on this very expensive glass that likes to crack when reheated.

of the times.
Some, most, political parties, on the other hand, insist on repeating the same mistakes over and over and over and...
