Lamps

     Lamps, I have two of them. Oh, actually several more than two between the two domiciles. But, there are two of the ones in question. They are identical because one was found to be so helpful another was purchased for the other home. (Discursus: where is 'home'? The OFH? Or The Little House? Perhaps, both.) Reading appears to be a feature of my life, thus the two lamps.

   They weren't particularly expensive ordered online from Target. They are a boon to extensive reading. Designed as floor lamps with a gooseneck they stand by identical recliners, also known as reading chairs. Two features make them great reading lamps. The, almost round, head contains a round magnifying glass. This magnifier is surrounded by small, bright LED lights. This conspires to give both great light and magnified print on the book of the moment.

    Since cataract surgery the lamps are less necessary but still helpful. This discussion of lamps was prompted by the latest gift of books from MJV. (Thanks MJV!) One of those books came in a large print edition which I could read quite well without the lamp yet the lamp still is useful. Likely the book came in large print because MJV checked the wrong box, not that she thinks I'm that age disabled. 

   Now I've read about two thirds of the large print one, so likely that will be the subject of tomorrows blog.
