Something strange is happening in my bedroom and I can’t work out why!

I’m sorry, it’s not very exciting but I just don’t understand it.

I have a bedside cabinet, and about 6 weeks ago I noticed that there was some gritty rubbley type stuff on it. I wiped it away but later on there was more there. I thought I mustn’t have cleared it up properly so did it again, more thoroughly.

And basically, ever since, there’s nearly always this gritty stuff there! I can’t imagine where it’s coming from - there’s nothing above the cabinet except the ceiling and a hanging light but they don’t seem to be the source. I never hear it dropping onto the cabinet, or see it dropping, it’s just there!

Where is it coming from?!

Actually, I do have a terrible snoring habit but probably not enough to shake grit out of the walls.

I just jumped back on to say that it definitely is the base of the lamp. However, it’s also coming out of the bit the bulb goes into. Actual grit that is, not plastic disintegrating.

I’m sorry it wasn’t a more exciting finish :(.

@SwtPeasOnEarth (great name) I’m very sorry 😞. I could post a pic of my Dd dressed as a Xmas tree in front of a proper Xmas tree if that would help any?

Thank you for taking the time to send a double Christmas tree photo of the adorable daughter! She's precious! ( as in the lovely American definition of precious ❤)
I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New YearXmas Smile
What a wonderful family you are blessed to have, Wendyer

Ah thank you @SwtPeasOnEarth, what a lovely message! I am blessed - and I hope you are too :). I’m afraid we will never know how many pickled onions there were in the jars, we didn’t actually buy them!
