jmtd → log → Lavalamps (things that spark joy)

Life can sometimes be tricky, and it's useful to know that there are some simple things to take pleasure from. Amongst them for me are lava lamps.

At some point in the late 90s, my brother and I somehow had 6 lavalamps between us. I'm not sure what happened to them (and the gallery of photos I had of them has long disappeared from my site.)

More recently, I stumbled across a Mathmos "Telstar" rocket-shaped lava lamp in a charity shop: silver metal; purple water; orange wax.

It now adorns my study desk.
