I'll wait until they're older. That way, they can (hopefully) choose the machines that they like the most. <br />Besides, at the moment, they each have a cheap Brother model each that they sometimes use for school projects when they want to give them an old fashioned look. <br />And yes, that burgundy is a nice colour. AND it's like the model that Helen Mirren used in "Hitchcock". teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-64397589258554354512013-08-22T18:19:22.666-07:002013-08-22T18:19:22.666-07:00Sigh, the burgundy is such a beautiful colour!

I can only assume that it was either Australian Delivery (since they used the pound here until I arrived) or it was a UK model that migrated to Australia along with its owner. <br /><br />@ Scott, yes it's a rich burgundy red, and I have another 22 of those envelopes somewhere around here. Bought them at a stationery store in Bangkok two years ago. I'm glad the envelope arrived safely. <br /><br />@ Rob, there's something very atmospheric about a mild breeze on a Summer's night. Can't say I'm familiar with Freddy Hubbard. But then, I think I was buying Ultravox's 'Vienna' album back then. Even got Midge Ure to sign the back of the record sleeve some years later. Now there's something that can't be done nowadays; "Excuse me, Mr Timberlake, can you sign my iPod?"teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-75412844789899196932013-07-29T02:49:53.644-07:002013-07-29T02:49:53.644-07:00Made me think of music, Santa Ana Winds from Fredd...Made me think of music, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_%28Freddie_Hubbard_album%29" rel="nofollow">Santa Ana Winds </a>from Freddy Hubbard's 1981 album of the same name. Which I heard him play in St George's Hall, Bradford, UK, in.... 1981. Still got the after-show vinyl somewhere.

Do you know, perchance, where it was sold originally?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280294152270101017noreply@blogger.com
