Just in case you wondered ..... and why wouldn't you? ..... this is the obstacle course that DB has to negotiate every time she wishes to use the bathroom.

Apart from looking good, these racks of pegs have actually helped DB in a practical way. Since a blow on the head in a nasty traffic accident left her with residual balance problems she has been in fear of crashing into these racks as she staggers down the hall at risk of destroying my careful arrangements.

Fortunately, this fear has concentrated her mind and so far she has only smashed into the one at the end. You will be pleased to know that the damage was minor (I have yet to mend the bottom bit of the frame) and no pegs were lost or broken.

DB has been receiving treatment for her problems from an excellent physiotherapist who has given her a range of exercises to do at home.  The exercises are working absolute wonders and DB feels better every day.  You might also be pleased to hear that negotiating racks of delicate pegs is also a good exercise as part of her vestibular rehabilitation. She is most grateful of course!

Well, I feel happy to know that you are OK and your collection continues to grow. I was worried for not seeing any post here since a long time ago.
Wish all the best to you and DB.
