This week's theme: Technical, mechanical, or machinery
I was rather lacking in inspiration earlier in the week, partly because I was thinking large scale. The obvious solution only came to me later and here is the old Singer Sewing machine (hand operated) that used to belong to my mother-in-law.
I looked up on the Internet about it recently and it dates from the 1930s and was made in Clydebank in Scotland.

Mary "Moll" Davis (ca. 1648 - 1708) was a seventeenth-century entertainer and courtesan, singer and actress who became one of the many mistresses of King Charles II of England.
Davis was born around 1648 in Westminster and was said by Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist, to be "a bastard of Collonell Howard, my Lord Barkeshire" - probably meaning Thomas Howard, third Earl of Berkshire.[1]
During the early 1660s she was an actress in the 'Duke's Theatre Company' and boarded with the company's manager, Sir William Davenant.[2]
She became a popular singer, dancer and comedian, but the wife of Pepys called her "the most impertinent slut in the world".
Davis met King Charles II in a theatre or coffee-house in about 1667.
She flaunted the wealth she acquired from her association with Charles, and gained a reputation for vulgarity and greed. She showed off her "mighty pretty fine coach" (Pepys:[4]) and a ring worth £600, in those days a vast sum. [5]
Davis gave up the stage in 1668 and in 1669 had a daughter by Charles, Lady Mary Tudor, who became famous in her own right. Later, Charles dismissed Davis, possibly due to some chicanery by Nell Gwynne, a major rival for the King's affections. [5] Davis did not leave empty-handed however: Charles awarded her an annual pension for life of £1,000.
In October 1673, Davis bought a new house in St James's Square from trustees for Edward Shaw, paying £1800.[6] 'Madam Davis' first appears in the ratebook for the year 1675 and last appears in 1687.[6] This house (which was surveyed by John Soane in 1799) was almost square and had three storeys, each with four evenly-spaced windows, all dressed with a wide architrave and cornice.[6] The staircase hall was south of a large room in front, and two smaller rooms and a secondary staircase at the rear. There was a massive cross-wall, containing the fireplaces of the back rooms.[6] It would now have been Number 22, St James's Square, if it had survived.[6] It was demolished in 1847 to make way for a new club house for the Army and Navy Club, having survived longer than any other of the other original houses in the square.
In December 1686, Davis married the French musician and composer James Paisible (c. 1656-1721), a member of James II's private musick.
Sir George Etherege wrote scornfully of the marriage: "Mrs Davies has given proof of the great passion she always had for music, and Monsieur Peasible has another bass to thrum than that he played so well upon".[7]
The Paisibles joined James's court in exile at St Germain-en-Laye, but in 1693 returned to England, where Paisible became composer to Prince George of Denmark, the husband of Princess Anne, heir to the throne.

周璇 was one of the famous actress cum singer in Shanghai during 30s and 40s. She began her entertainment business since teenage. With a 'golden voice', she has won the first runner up in a singing contest and that led her to take part in a movie. Her success in the show business could not bring her happiness, due to the broken marriage, she has been admitted into mental hospitals. Finally, she died at 39 with a sudden illness.
The poster of 周璇 is the focus of this picture. Though there are toooooo many things in the frame, still 周璇 is the most catchy thing with her aura. Actually her facial expression thrills me a lot as if she is 'standing' right in front of the camera.
Up to London with Darren Wilkin. I could have happily listened to her all day ... she had a lovely voice.
