My clock

My clock, originally uploaded by kaioshin.

This is the clock I bid on and won in the auction. It turns out, it's not the wooden one I had seen earlier. This one is a 19th C. Victorian slate clock. Actually nicer than what I thought I was bidding on.

A fortunate mistake, because I was able to purchase it right at its valuation (slightly under, actually). So -- bargain hunter, me!

The unfortunate part, however, was that I had to carry a heavy slate clock all the way back from Angel. I didn't bring cash for bus or taxi because normally I enjoy the walk and I thought the wooden clock would be light enough.
