Bath time

I had been asked to take look at a clock that friends of friends had brought back from Romania ten years ago and had never got to work.  I partly dismantled it and lubricated it but it was very dirty and I was not hopeful of getting it going.  Sadly that proved to be the case and I told them that I would have to take the mechanism back to the UK if they wanted it to work.  Nevertheless, we had a good chat over coffee in the garden before returning via Villefranche where we bought some Christmas presents to take back. In the afternoon I started a sketch for a painting next week before taking a walk in the park where I saw this duck performing its ablutions.
