Maybe I can keep this dust-free now

The photo shows a lovely carved box that Vince gave me before we were married. I keep our handkerchiefs in it. The only downside is that the box is hard to dust because of all the tiny indentations. I used to use an old toothbrush then run the end of the vacuum cleaner over it.
However, Vince has bought a battery-operated car vacuum cleaner, a tiny little one, and it is ideal for sucking out the dust and fluff. It plugs into a USB slot and has a couple of different ‘heads’ on it. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of this.
Edit: I can't add the photo at the moment. I'll try again later.

I have one of those tiny vacuums... I've never found a good use for it. I'm glad you did.
I hope you and Vince are having a lovely day.

@JudyEv I don't know. I use the big vacuum on the keyboard with the soft bristle brush.

@DaddyEvil I'm sure that would be just as efficient but the small one is better for the carved box. It gets in the crevices better than the big one.

@JudyEv It has to be that way. Imagine investing in a vacuum cleaner just to clean that tiny box. Having said that why not anyway After all it was a gift of love and has lasted so long Go ahead

I didn't notice it whiny but it wasn't going for long.
