Click, clack....

For a while now Isaac has been asking me to look out for an old manual typewriter (the sort I learned to type on at school SO many years ago now). I'm not sure why he was so keen to have one but I think it had something to do with the click, clack sound the keys make as you strike them and the fact that Lemony Snicket uses a manual typewriter..... Anyway, today in a trawl round the op shops I spotted one that was just begging to be given a new home so, without further ado, I handed over my cash and became the proud owner of a hulking olivetti dinosaur! I could barely lift the thing but I knew that it would make one little boy very happy.



I was not disappointed..... Isaac was overcome when he saw it and that was enough for me! He spent AGES typing away, learning what all the buttons would make the carriage do and working out how to make an exclamation mark! He wrote four letters to family this evening so my little investment will be bringing joy to many over the coming weeks. Who knows, maybe he will write a masterpiece on it......
