I just signed up for payperpost and interestingly one of the opportunities involved writing about blinds.
It so happens that my brother bought a wooden one when he converted one of the rooms our house that used to store old unwanted stuff into his work/bed room. He cleaned up the place and clear most of the useless stuff out of the room. One of the things that he took down was the old window blinds that’s no longer working. No longer working as in the blind could not be lowered anymore. Some machanism’s broken.
So the other day he went and bought a wooden one. Not bad looking actually. The blind didn’t cost him much and it’s pretty presentable. He and his girlfriend actually added some blinking lights around the window, corny but it does enhance on the looks of the room. Kind of a weird zen and not zen kind of feel to the room now. Only thing is that hopefully it stays workable longer than the previous one.
