I spent the day doing the cleaning, on and off. I took it at a leisurely pace, so as not to tire myself too much. A bit of WD40 and some elbow grease worked well in getting off some sticky residue on the window frame, from where I'd stuck some Velcro-type stuff, to attach a netting fly screen to a couple of summers ago. It didn't work that well, so now I've taken thm all off, and have to work my way round to getting the sticky off the various windows! It doesn't show too much, so I'm not too worried if I don't get round to them all.

Typical of the Mughal period (1526-1858). The shutters were wood but red sandstone was used for the rest because it recalled the color of imperial tents and was easy to carve on. According to Emperor Akhbar's court historian: "Clever workmen chisel it so skillfully, as no turner could do with wood."

Historic Hopewell Furnace, Chester County, Pennsylvania. There is one outbuilding here where visitors are encouraged to touch the exhibits. I interpreted "touch" to include "move," and moved this charming old hat from a rumpled old bed, to this worn, old table.
