Shades of Grey.......

No not the book!! but our weather is turning into Winter the clocks went back one hour at the weekend  and with it the wet grey days have arrived. One of my first jobs was to get my new Electric Blanket on and the first night was sublime why the hell did I not have one last year when the temperatures fell to -20. The fire has been lit one of the nicest things about winter and the next trauma will be Christmas!


I have used everyone of these machines although I don't think we had a pink typewriter, The telex machine was quite difficult to get used to and not my favorite contraption and how easy was the fax machine with its glossy paper......Do people still use them???
