Cheers.

I'm sorry, but no can do as I'm flat out trying to get my house cleaned up from the mess my eldest daughter left it in so I can accommodate a few people for the local races here in less than 2 weeks.

Cheers.

Yes, you win!

It's a 1970's item I got from saving and sending in breakfast cereal box tops. It's called the Daisy Moisture Meter, and it's intended use is for house plants.
