The behind-the-sofa sofa pockets
Just a quick invention today as I look for a comb to I can get ready for Kempton’s Family Day of racing. I can never find my comb. It’s often on the shelf under the coffee table, but not today.
So I was thinking, I’m always short of places to put little things in the living room, combs, or my purse when it’s not in my bag, and the DVD remote too… So wouldn’t it be good if there was a hidden-out-of-the-way pocket on the back of the sofa to keep your bits and bobs in? It could just be a pocket of fabric with a hook to catch it on the sofa-back. Of course this arrangement won’t work for everyone, our sofa has it’s back to the wall so the pocket wouldn’t show, but you could hook this pocket anywhere, like the back of a cupboard door or an armchair.
This is just a little domestic idea, and may be I’ve come over all domestic because I spent the morning sewing elastic onto my baby’s sun hat? But hey, all that nicey-nicey family stuff is going to go out of the window when I get to that race track, throw my kids onto the bouncy castle, and go gambling crazy! Well, at those race track bookies it’s a minimum £2 bet!
Of course a global-internet style use of the comb in the sofa pocket idea would be if Microsoft developed a version of Windows where you could give a button-icon to any task you’re doing on your computer, say an email you’d saved as draft, an internet recipe page, or a spreadsheet of 2 year old’s speed ratings… then you could place these buttons in a ‘pocket’ on your desktop, nice and easy to find again.
If only I could click on my desktop to find a comb to do my hair…
