Do you know that today is World Typing Day? Things have come a long way since the first manual typewriters were invented. Upstairs in the old office we have an Antique Royal Barlock, a No 5 Blickensderfer, an Underwood, a 66 Imperial 66 and an Olivetti 82! Tom hanks eat your heart out!

I was in for a nasty surprise yesterday... After purchasing this old typewriter at a second-hand shop, I brought it home and discovered a dead MOUSE inside it. What made the discovery even more gruesome was that the mouse had no head. It had not died of natural causes! This is a Murder Mystery!!!😱
