My uncle gave me a desk lamp for my 13th birthday. It was nothing special, just a smallish, neat white one from Ikea. I thought it was a pretty boring present, but there was something quite pleasing about its shape, and I liked the bright soft clean white light it threw over my desk. After a while, I noticed that I hadn't changed the light bulb. I took the lamp with me wherever I lived, valuing its constancy, its neatness and efficiency, and I started to think the light bulb was magic. Yesterday morning, after twelve years going strong, the bulb went, gently, just like that. I know it's a light bulb, but in a very small way, I feel bereft.

It takes me ages to go through it as well. I had a little nostalgia the other day when I dug deep into my cupboard and found some boxes of rice I had bought when I first moved into the apartment.
