Topic.

for me, earlier this afternoon I went across to the shop and bought a Dairy Milk chocolate Bar.

How about you guys? Can be anything.

Oh last week I ordered the Street Fighter 2 animated Japanese movie on Blu Ray, was dispatched from an Amazon Marketplace seller today.

I bought a $10 sewing machine at goodwill.

This was to convert to electric or hand crank but it has no motor attachment spot as it is from 1893.

So I bought the treadle irons and 5-drawer oak cabinet as well and now it looks like a sewing machine again. Still have to get it working but it's almost ready to sew.

I actually have the exact same Singer sewing machine :) The table it is attached to is just a little different, smaller.
 
I've ordered a Swedish waffle maker for my friend's 70th birthday next month. She always borrows mine when her grandchildren visit so I decided to get her one of her own. Swedish waffles are thinner than Belgium waffles and you can get one that makes waffles in the shape of hearts.

It sounds really cool, the small one. I took the machine and started scraping the paint off with a razor because it was flaky and chipped and rusting badly.

I'm really excited about having a full size, freestanding sewing-machine and will probably take the next six months and kit it out with the right paint, Sphinx decals, nickel trim (dare I hope for nickel?) and some modern accessories and attachments.

Apparently these don't have a bobbin, they use a vibrating shuttle. (my other Singer, a portable 99K electric, is from the fifties and has a bobbin.) Vibrating shuttle technology has been obsolete since the Sixties but I can order a replica. These sound like so much fun to use.

Looks weird with parts missing but I think I want to make it workable and use it as often as I get an excuse.

I passed the food coop over the weekend and I bought a few things there. One different thing I bought was some bulk sunflower oil. People donate used glass jars there to be reused, and I filled one of the jars with the oil. (Unfortunately, I think I may be allergic to sunflower oil, because I made some pan fried potatoes with it and got a stomach ache.)

The oil could be close! to rancid
