I packed up and sent off a couple of highly desirable but a bit busted typewriters to a friend who has more mechanical expertise than I have, and enclosed a Roladex card file of the same generation - 1960s or 70s, for him to use if he fancied, and this morning got an email from him expressing his glee at the gift. It is so lovely when an impulse move proves to be exactly right, and we find the perfect home for something valued. One more object rehomed in my svedish death clean campaign - just as well, if he manages to fix the typewriters, lol. Though one of these two isn't bound for my use, I found it for a friend who wants to type up some of her late husbands handwritten diaries for his sons. The other machine though is an ultralite portable, which makes it very useful, like a tablet over a desktop machine. I shall be able to write stting up in bed in the winter, warm and cosy and engaged if he can get it typing without the graunching noises!
Looking around my tiny flat, I am definitely making progress on the decluttering front. I am rather enjoying the diminishing pile of To Be Sorted things, but I do wonder if maybe I should prune the jungle...
Next month maybe.
