The chains from Bunnings yes @avant-garde but also some of the jewellery ones too - I think it depends on what they're coated with. The thinner one I posted originally was coated in black paint when I first got it! That all chipped off and it was grey underneath. I've spun it so much the grey has now worn off (yes, onto my hands lol) and exposed the coppery colour. It's like a weird gobstopper or something haha how many layers will there be?! 😝
Oooh good luck @Dreamy 😉

The power is out, it's too quiet, it says 6 hours, it's too quiet, it's too quiet

@avant-garde yes sweetheart, breathe and I'm here with you ❤️.
Have you got anything you can do to distract yourself for a while?

A friend at church suggested an audiobook, but what I might do is borrow the one he suggested and listen to the one I've downloaded, it goes for almost 5 hours, but it means I'll have to listen to his suggestion next.

@avant-garde listening to an audiobook is a great idea. Hopefully the power will be back on before its finished. The 6 hours will only be an estimate so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be out for that long.
