"New" Clock

After changing our lounge room around, we decided that we really needed a clock to go in that room. Last week Warren took on the task to check out a clock for the room.

Now we have always had a clock in there, one that we spent quite a bit of money on, down south. I cant remember if we ever had it on display in the old house as we bought it to celebrate a change of circumstances.

We bought the clock and a mirror at the same time and place and got a discount by buying the two, at the time, I didn't really want a clock, but it was cheaper to buy the two rather than just one.

Anyway I digress, the clock didn't fare very well with the move, being packed up and then stored for several weeks, when unpacked the hands were bent and over the next few months, the numbers kept falling off until only twelve, one, three and nine were left.

I had been working on a wall hanging and the wall hanging went over the top of the clock, that was about nine years ago.

The wall hanging doesn't fit the new colourings it had to go and so too the clock, We took both down this morning, I washed the wall hanging as it will go to the salvos. Clock was in limbo, did we donate it or bin it?

My task today was to declutter the spare room and I opened a box that happened to have stick on numbers, no idea what they had been bought for, then Warren tells me that he bought them for a guy to one numbers on his letter box.

Light bulb moment, could we fix the clock and thus save buying a new clock? As per the photos, it has new numbers, a new batteries and we carefully bent the hands back into place, there wasn't enough ones to put a twelve so have left the old number there. May replace the numbers so they are all the same later. The piece of wood is a slice off a red gum that has been polished, it is quite heavy.
