Flutina

We've a Flutina from E's side of the family; essentially it's a predecessor to the accordion. Late 19th century and not especially valuable according to the Antiques Roadshow man when they came to Cambridge once. Indeed the box seemed to be of more interest / value.

It makes suitable squealing noises when squeezed, like most mammals I guess. We're not exactly sure what to do with it - which is largely the process by which we come to have it.

Otherwise, general sorting and clearing today. Researching cycle carriers - discovering our car is almost unique in being incompatible with any rear-mounted carrier; so the roof it is then. Eek, those are expensive and/or Eek, I'd not trust that to carry the weight of a beachball.
