Hand-Me-Downs

I got given this eumig, mini 3 servofocus video camera by my grandad about 3 months ago. When he gave it to me I didn't really think much of it as it took old type of film and I didn't really know how to use it, so I found it a little daunting. So it has been collecting dust ever since. As we started this blog I remembered I had it, it would be perfect to take little video clips along with the photos.
So i'm going to go searching for a new film and see if I can work this thing.

Passing Of Words

I have always submersed myself amongst the rail and rails of clothes found in charity shops, but never fully explored the shelves stacked with books.

Then recently I spotted something in the corner of my eye. Hidden between the many copies of the Katie Price and Peter Andre autobiographies I found a book I had been interested in reading for a while.

A hardback copy of Nick Caves ‘The Death of Bunny Monroe’

Nick Cave is a songwriter best known for writing very dark lyrics, and I would expect nothing different from his book.

However it would appear that maybe the person who donated it was slightly more shocked by it.

How do I know this?

I opened the book to reveal a hand written note from the previous owner saying “Filthiest book I have ever read”.

When I saw this I instantly took the book to the counter and plucked the asking price of £1.50 out from my pocket.

I walked away with another great buy, and I now look forward to reading the book and seeing how valid the previous owners note is. 

Cape

I saw the film Atonement a couple of years ago and fell in love with the nurses cape that Briony wears and have wanted one ever since. There are a few on Ebay, however, being a poor student I haven't yet been able to justify buying another cape as I already have one. It's not this one though...hmmmm.
