Hurrah! I was walking along outside the Tower building at Dundee
University, when I saw a man breaking down tables. I asked him what
he was doing, and he said that he had been told to destroy all these
perfectly good tables and take them to the dump! There were chairs
too. It seemed like madness. I asked if I could have a table? He
said that was fine. I was perfectly prepared to carry it home,
backpack-style, but he offered to drop it off at my house (I live
about 15 minutes' walk away). Emboldened, I asked for a chair to go
with it. Wow! Within 1 hour, the men arrived at my flat with table
and chair. I had already cleared the old table and piano bench and
put them in the bedroom. I have installed my sewing machine and UFOs
at my new table and chair. How inviting it all looks, and - best of
all - it's at a much better height. The chair has a back rest, and
feels so much more comfortable than the piano bench was. Perhaps best
of all, I saved 2 pieces of furniture from the skip. :) I will post
photos on my webshots now.....look on the second page of "My Public
Shoebox". http://community.webshots.com/user/Jo_in_Scotland

Wonderful, Jo! It's always nice to get new stuff, and free makes it even
nicer. :) Enjoy your new table (nice size!) and chair.
