Stationary hand/foot cycling thingy (Kennington OX1)
1d
- Not sure what the proper name is, but I'm on the lookout for one of these stationary cycling things for an elderly lady who needs exercise to improve her circulation to help heal a problem with her foot. Medics keep telling her to walk but there's a limited amount she can bear to do due to the foot problem - a catch 22! Can collect from around Oxford or Abingdon areas. Many thanks!

One tiny green glass/crystal stone (Kennington OX1)
Received
22d
- I have this brooch that I'm very fond of, although it's nothing special. It features a frog on a lily pad, and unfortunately the frog has lost one of its sparkly green eyes. I can't find any place to obtain just one tiny stone (max dimension about 1mm diameter) and I don't want to have to buy a pack of several hundred! I wondered if there is any jewellery maker out there who might be able to spare just one stone, or point me to where I might be able to get one. Thank you!
