Ms Jane's nieces and nephew are here, along with her sisters and her mother. We're about to wander over to her cousin's place for a barbecue. Such a hard life this!
My sympathies for your struggle, Scott. And the Kolibris are fantastic, although it took me a few pages to get used to the typing action on mine. I think the keys are slightly smaller than most, as I kept hitting the wrong keys when I first started using my one.
There seems to have been a flurry of Kolibri-praise recently but I've yet to succumb to the desire to really search one out. A "for parts" one sold on eBay US for some $80 this week.
Nice but damn, I want a Kolibri!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought on seeing that last pic.
DeleteYeah, my newest blog entry isn't likely to help that.

ReplyDeleteP.S.- Check your letterbox when you get home. ;-)
The key actions are quite similar to my Bijou, so I got used to it pretty quickly. But I know what you mean, the key positioning is different.
DeleteI got your letter, I have typed a response, but I have yet to get it to a letterbox! You will see it this week, I promise.
Tsk! I wish for snow in winter.

For parts? Sounds like a challenge to repair!
DeleteSnow.... What is this.... 'Snow' you speak of?
Nice beaches. I would like to find a lonely place on one of the beaches near me so I can type.
ReplyDeleteI like the beaches in winter, but I would rather be in the North playing in the snow.
One day I will own a Kolibri. The only place I see them is on Epay for way too much for my budget. I was watching the $80 one to see if it would sell.
Mmmmm They are very well constructed, so it is worth-while. I hope you get one!
DeleteAh, that looks so relaxing and beautiful. Cheers from one Kolibrista to another.
ReplyDeleteVery! And even the Kolibri was relaxing and beautiful... Thank you!
DeleteThree words: parallel action keytops
ReplyDeleteThey are so good! But clearly very expensive to make.
DeleteThat picture of the beach and the sky could easily be a stockphoto. Are you sure you're not kidding us about your vacation? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I got much better photos later in the day. This was just a weekend away, but it was a nice one. I've got a real break coming up soon.
