Lizzie again!

And she’s got a roommate too!

 

 

Apologies…

It is a moment of celebration and apologies. I was walking down the passageway at home, and looked up at the lamp that once was the home of my pretty model, Lizzie. I was just telling Batch, “What a pity she died”. And then it happened. She moved! Lizzie moved!

I jumped up with joy and tapped the base of the lamp with my finger, but she didn’t move. So I tapped again, and voila! The head turned sideways and the eyes moved! THAT was the moment… My little Lizzie’s still alive! Oh what joy! :) I was standing under the lamp for the next 10 minutes looking up at little Lizzie and she kept making these quirky movements and then she walked around a bit. I guess she was just really tired that day when I saw her lying still inside the lamp. And now everytime I walk by, I take a good look at Lizzie comfortably coiled on the base of the lamp.

What a magnificent day, I say! :)

Cheers to Lizzie for still being alive!!

Obituary

I’m sure the Lizzie of the Lamp looked very beautiful and all that jazz, but sadly that didn’t last too long. 

She died a few days ago. I was out of the house for about 2 days – had to stay over a friend’s place in order to study for an exam. I came back to check on Lizzie and saw that she wasn’t moving. I thought she was sleeping, so I tapped the base of her pretty home. She didn’t move an inch. That’s when my heart skipped a beat. I dragged the stool from the other room and placed it under the lamp. What I saw wasn’t the most pleasant sight. Lizzie was lying there still and in a position that would give anybody a very bad backache. My friend kept saying from behind, “It’s okay. I think she’s dead”.

I guess she is. Thanks Lizzie for all the photographs! You’re the best.

I’m sorry if I kept the light on too long…

Lizzie of the Lamp

This is the new resident in the house. She found a very cosy place in the lamp that hangs from the ceiling.
