Colours of Lockdown… day 25

This lockdown A4 foldout inspired by a Farrow and Ball colour chart

Teddy is self isolating

His friends stopped by to say hi, but they are keeping the required distance apart. Cat and Bunny were not at home when lockdown started and everyone misses each other a lot. Especially hugs. But staying safe is best.

The Underwood 5 bell before

The Underwood 5 bell now

I would have preferred to polish the bell off the machine but I don’t have a long enough screwdriver to go in all the way from the opposite side of the typewriter. Brasso and wet & dry paper. Carefully, slowly turning the bell. The metal is pitted from the rust but so far it’s looking a lot nicer.

Street finds

Picked up on the streets of London

Picked up on the streets of St Leonard’s

I hated the plastic body of the Lettera 82 so much I decided to leave the machine naked. The plastic body is a disgrace to the name of Lettera , and what’s more it took two of us to get it off, and once off, seemed too much hassle for too much ugly to bother getting sweaty over.
