new era

Musings 67 recorded a blog on May 16 sorrowing over the passing of certain useful pieces of equipment. It inspired one anonymous donor to wax poetic, but hopefully amused others. The new era sees us with another second-hand piano provided in exchange by the kind Chappells of Bond Street ( though they are now located in Wardour Street, also off Oxford Street and once the home of Ivor Novello and worth going into just to see the architecture, especially the first floor piano showroom) and that for the same price as the original despite being more in the shop; a new fridge-freezer after extensive research and bought not from a big retailer but a little Turkish shop in Chapel Market (for those who know Islington) with very friendly service; and a new printer that actually works courtesy of Argos. I don't usually go to Argos for electrical goods so will be interested to see if the good lady's choice is spot on and we will all lead a pleasant and fruitful life together. So far the future looks very good.
