A press of some sort? 🤔

That's what I was thinking. For pressing flowers, presumably, or making really thin sandwiches.

Flower press?

A press possibly, but no fastenings along its longest part. Slightly on the small side for a flower press(I think.) at just four inches wide.

It's relying on the two screws, and steel plates, place across its length.

Lovely family meal out this afternoon, and true to form we took our time arriving at 1pm and leaving just after 4pm. I'd forgotten how large their portions were and only just cleared my plate of fish, chips & peas with no room for the sweet course. Combined with the developing cold the only thing to do when I got home was to pull out the sleeping bag and have 45 minutes kip.

My sister sems to be enjoying my birthday week most of all as she turned up with yet more stuff, although she does take rubbish photos...

I'll get my own back on her in 2.5 years time.

I still haven't found it, I'm most disappointed.

Have you checked the photocopier?
Are you sure you actually pressed the 'Print' button?

Lovely supper of a big bowl of leek & potato soup, then two slices of fried bread, one topped with beans and coleslaw, and the other with sliced avocado and a fried egg. Not the healthiest, but hey ho...

Suggestions please?
It's two pieces of dark wood, about half an inch thick, and about ten by four inches.
Two wingnuts, square threads.

Yes, that's definitely a flower press. They can be quite small. Mine, which looks similar, is only half the size. What's missing though, are the sheets of corrugated card and paper that you put the blooms between.

They should be easy enough get hold off though.
Seems @PeteXXX, @Andy in Germany and @mistyoptic were correct then.

I've spent an interesting evening developing a character (Sarah Archibald) that I've mentioned in passing on several occasions, but who hasn't turned up in person until this point in the story. But now it's time to put the writing away, bank the fire for the night and trot off upstairs to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Morning.
Own up? Who bought a new bike for Christmas as the office for national stiff sticks revealed that our economy grew by 0.1 percent.

Doing things the wrong way around today as first cuppa went down well and I am just about to go for a walk.

100 new towns !
So that's 100 more Aldi, Lidl, KFC and McDonald's. Plenty of jobs then.

Not much improvement in the back department.
