Nach dem 2. Teil meines Workshops am Sonntag hab ich eine Brille in der Nähe von Infodesk/Heaven liegen gelassen.
Sie hat ein braunes Plastik-Gestell, das rechte Glas ist mit silbernem Tape abgeklebt.
Es ist eine Simulationsbrille, die eine spezifische Sehbehinderung nachstellt: kein Sehvermögen auf dem rechten, und Rest-Sehvermögen von 0,1 auf dem linken Auge.
Wer die Brille gesehen hat undoder weiß, wo sie jetzt zu finden ist, meldet sich bitte. Dankeschön!

This is a long shot, but I found this notebook at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, it has writings in English and German and some really nice drawings, with TIBA as signature, and what looks like a journal, left it at the security at the shop exit (third picture), boost more than welcome #lostandfound

_The Evening Post_, 30 March 1925:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
Another instance of the recovery by railway officials of an article lost from the train by a lady passenger has been brought to notice, and with it a further example of the value of forethought is provided. During a trip by train to Auckland recently a Wellington lady was in the act of washing her hands when a valuable ring slipped from her finger and passed into the waste pipe of the basin before it could be recovered. The train was then some distance from #Taihape, and, on arrival at that station, the loss of the ring was made known to the station officials there. An examination of the pipe failed to reveal the missing article, which had evidently fallen right through to the railway line. The lady passenger informed the officials that she had taken a note of the time when the article was lost, and with this information as a guide, that portion of the line over which the train had passed at the time stated was subsequently searched. The result was that the lady had her ring returned the other day.

At last, my air nozzle and tyre inflator. Almost bought new ones after I couldn't find them.

Took tidying up the extra room, which I used as temporary workshop, wardrobe, seedling spawning and dumping place for all the boxes we moved over and didn't quite get sorted, plus all the new crap we bought and haven't installed yet.

So since October a massive mess grew there. Finally used some sunny weather+coffee+nice food energy to tidy up.

A compressor air pistol and tyre inflator with pressure gauge. They sit on a plastic storage crate with other stuff inside.
