Monet had one the same!

Last night, Lisbeth had a visit from two people: a man and a woman. Lisbeth doesn't know either of them, but they know someone (Lisbeth doesn't know this person, either) who has just married someone Lisbeth does know! They seemed really nice people so Lisbeth invited them to stay for a meal. They ate in the garden and sat out until it was dark.

While Lisbeth was preparing the food, the man noticed her clock and spent some time looking at it. It seems he is a bit of a clock enthusiast and was interested in the story of where it came from. He told Lisbeth that he thought it was lovely, completely original and that there is one in Monet's house at Giverny, only that one is painted yellow. He said they were almost identical in quality (minimal) and both have the same type of hinges and catches, made of thin nails and bent wire. During the evening, he admired the winding key, remarked on its even tick and noted the extremely attractive chime. He also said it looked completely 'right' in Lisbeth's room.

Needless to say, Lisbeth is even more delighted with her find, so today, she is planning to set it to the correct time.

P.S. Interesting that Mr Writer chose a Monet jigsaw puzzle to do!
