I travel into Lanark with every intention of spending hours in the library. But between me and the library there are 4 charity shops, each one decreases the time in the library significantly.
The last one is the best, it has lots of oddments and the staff are happy to chat away to you. And as I turn, I see it from across the room. The words shout out to me.
It lies amongst the cassette rack, I kinda know by this point I'm on to something pretty good, looking at the inlay confirms this. Only 50p and it may be the best thing I have ever owned. I start to worry on the way home that I will open the box, and it will be Steps or Boyzone instead, like some cruel trick, from some charity shop prankster.
I get home and it is what it should be.
I listen, so content.
And then the music cuts out. Alas, What has befallen my wonderful find?! Eeeeek! There has been a tape gobbling. This happiness was seemingly short lived.
It's okay though, all was not lost, through the crafty use of a torch, crochet hook, scalpel and cellotape the good ol' tape plays on with a few hiccups. I didn't completely ruin it, Yay!
