Typewriter!

As I was walking home from work yesterday, I found this little beauty in the street ^_^

I'd wanted a typewriter for a while, and couldn't believe it when I stumbled across it.

It seems to work fine, although will need a new ribbon soonish - not sure how easy they are to find these days? And also, it's a French keyboard layout, so I'll prolly need to stock-up on the Tipex ;) But I love that it's got the accents, like é, somehow it makes it more, ummmm, romantic?

I even found the case thing for it, so I can mix it up on the Metro with all the business men and their briefcases ^_~

And if you want a nicely typed letter (rather than a smelly old e-mail), leave a comment (and make sure I have your address) and I'll make use of La Poste :)

    hehehe. the problem now is that everywhere I go I expect to find kool stuff and get disappointed when I don't! ;)

    I used it last night and discovered that the French keyboard doesn't have a '1' or a '0' so I guess you need to use the 'I' and 'O'? heee

    Hee. Did you get my other post I sent? (I hope so so that I don't ruin the surprise...)

    Also, I never did receive any texts. Think my phone has an aversion to English text-messages. Grrr.
