While sorting through the basement this summer, I found an old lava lamp. Unpacked it recently and put it up, thought it might be fun to look at. Maybe swap out the firefly lamp for a while.

The lava lamp turned out to not thrive in the temperatures that are normal for this house. In early September it wasn’t doing too badly, but now the colder it gets, the less fun the lamp is to look at. On the cooler evenings, he lava just doesn’t flow – it melts and sort of undulates, but never bubbles up. The lamp underneath is not hot enough to keep the whole thing warm in our cool living room.

Looking at a sad lava lamp does not make me happy. I think it’s time to re-home it.
