Picked up this lovely collector's item today, a circa 1930s Erika typewriter commissioned by Karger Publishing in Basel. It's a wee on the rough side but has such a lovely feel. If only it could tell me its stories...

Currently reading @juderogers wonderful The Sound of Being Human between doing bits of housework. Would absolutely recommend it (the book, not the housework).

Here’s to the great Lee Brilleaux who died on this day – 7 April 1994. What can one say about Lee that hasn’t been said before? With many thanks to Shirley, Kelly, Nick, Chris, Wilko, Figure, Sparko and more. Photo WB 2006 of Scott King art installation in Jackson Sq Park NYC.

This half term I’ve been playing @lwspellsongs album in my handwriting lessons. There has been progress in focus and concentration but best of all today the class started quietly singing along as they worked and my eyes filled with happy tears at how beautiful it was. 🎶🌟
