People Still Read BOOKS?!!

Believe it or not, and I know we are in the 21st century, but there are a LOT of people who still read books! Yes, those hardback books with pages made out of paper still exist, and a lot of people prefer them to going on to Kindle and downloading a book on to a mobile or a tablet.

What’s more, many of us who were around in the last century, and that is actually the majority of the population at present, have books that we bought before anyone had ever heard of the internet because it hadn’t been invented, and neither had Kindle. On top of that, many families have books that have been handed down by their parents and grandparents, and a lot of them are classics that we wouldn’t dream of throwing out just because somebody by the name of Jeff Bezos happens to be the richest man in the world!



Good luck to him! But we want to keep our books.
However, we do have to admit that Mr Bezos makes life a bit easier when you can download a whole library on to something that you can hold in the palm of your hand.

When we have real books, we need to have somewhere to keep them and those things are called bookshelves. Sheets of timber that you mount on a couple of brackets and screw on to the walls. Yep, they do look a bit past it, but they do the job of holding all our books.

However, modern design has caught up and you can now have a bookshelf such as the Kartell Bookworm Short Shelf which is a strip of metal that you can bend into any shape you desire and affix to the wall to hold your books. The Kartell Bookworm Short Shelf is 320cm long and has seven bookends which you can attach in order to hold your collection of books in any manner which pleases you..

The Kartell Bookworm Short Shelf also comes in a choice of five colours to match your room so you can keep your books in a contemporary fashion, and still read as you did yesterday.

Clocks Are an Essential Part of Our Lives

Image
What would we do without clocks? Throughout our waking hours we need to know what the time is. We need to know if it’s time to leave the house to get the train to work. We need to know if its coffee break time, lunch time, time to leave the office, time to put the dinner on, time to go to the football match, and even time to go to bed. OK, many of us have a watch, although more people today rely on their mobiles to tell the time. But when you have a clock, all you need to do is to look at it on the wall and it tells you the time. You don’t have to get your phone out of your pocket or handbag and switch it on – just look at the clock on the wall. That is why there is a plethora of modern clocks that you can buy. They still do the same thing that Victorian ones did, but they just look as though they were made in the 21st century. Having said that, there are modern clocks that are made using Roman numerals which gives us a hint of times gone past, but there are...

Fair enough, you won’t need the illuminated part of the illuminated wall clocks ...

Some Examples of the Many Designs of Modern Wall Clocks

Image
One of the most important things in our lives is time. It has a habit of passing, and once it has done so we can’t get it back. It has gone forever. However, time rules a lot of our lives. We have to be at work on time. We have to catch a train on time. The beef is going to take some time to cook. This or that is taking a long time. So it follows that we frequently need to know what time it is, and for that we have watches and clocks. Many homes have wall clocks in the sitting room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and sometimes even the bathroom, because we constantly need to check the time. There are some really great designs of modern wall clocks available, some of which might be described as “way out”. For example, one of the modern wall clocks is the Invotis Wall Gear and Date Clock which consists of a set of gear wheels which turn slowly and move a large gear wheel which tells the time. The clock has two smaller gear wheels which also display the month and...
