Erika - the yellow submarine typewriter was made in GDR (That's the German Democratic Republic which was East Germany). It is a Danish typewriter, with additional characters å æ ø. Bought it at a flea market in Denmark for 20Kr, about 6SGD. I can't remember how I managed to carry this submarine home myself because it weighs 2 tonnes (it really feels like it!)
Got new ribbons for it today at BooksActually - that is my new workplace. I will start work this weekend instead of Monday because of a big event. Had some orientation today inside the shop and around the neighbourhood. I met my new colleagues who are all very young and pretty, I guess I will fit in well (Haha!!)
So it is official, I will work 4 days a week. From 11 - 9. My Thursday, Saturdays and Sundays are off. This is part of a dream come true. Working in a bookshop has been some kind of dream for me.
O everyone, please come and visit me!! I shall serve you a nice cup of tea or juice if you come :)
