Dripping Verdi

This is Verdi. He was made for me by my mother-in-law about 28 years ago as a good luck mascot when I took the exam to turn me from a Physics teacher to a Computing teacher. He wasn't allowed in the college, so he sat in the car reading the Glasgow Herald while I struggled away at the exam. I passed, so Verdi worked. He's on his way back to his Maker to get some seams re-sown, so we thought he should have a bath. Although he was blindfolded to stop him panicking in the washing machine, his eyes got badly scratched, so he'll need to have them re-painted on his return.
