There's an interesting retro store down the road from my place. I hate stepping in there, 'cause it's full of interesting shit - for example, new old stock Casio calculator watches from the eighties!

Yesterday I decided I needed a clock in my kitchen/living room. Not just any ugly clock, I needed something cool. And I knew this shop had a bunch of these old flip clocks. In fact they had about ten, of various generations. Fake wood panelled ones, models with radios. But I spotted this one - utilitarian brown, an oddly shaped case, a light that still worked, and a "seconds" dial. This was the one for me!

Waaaaaay back in the day, I had a flip clock when I was a teenager (yes, I'm that old) which was red and which I kept until it simply stopped working. So I'm a bit sentimental about them. And in fact, I acquired a really old one when my family sold our beach house about a year ago, but it stopped working a few months back :-( Ah well. I'm unreasonably delighted about this new toy, even thought all it does is hum and show the time :-)
