Never mind That Day.
I made plans for this day.
Rose, mug of tea, email, news etc. 5c here today so trudged through the snow and hung washing on the line ("The World is my heat engine"), ate breakfast (a mandarin), donned coat (otherwise folks would think I was loony), and at Great Personal Expense(1), then set off along Lake Canon Bayley to the Post Office. I thought to buy some stamps for my friends on Eileen's Lounge.
"Hello Corinna!" (Ray Petersen has a lot to answer for), "Hi Chris" etc.
I'd like to buy some stamps.
We're all sold out.
???
They arrived Friday and we were sold out Saturday Morning.
??? !!!
Corinna loves me, so she has arranged to set aside 20 books of 10 stamps each (from the re-order) when they arrive, and place an additional order to replace the 20 books claimed by me from the current order.
I will probably have to give Corinna a few more house plants because of this.
So here's the plan:
(1) Those of you who want a book of stamps, or one or two stamps can place an order now in a PM
(2) When the books arrive and are paid for and collected I will post an update here and set aside stamps/books according to received PMs.
(3) Then I will PM you asking for some sort of mailing address, PO Box, work address, home address, son’s university address, or what have you.
(4) I will then post your stamps to you in an envelope.
(5) If you want the envelope to carry a Bonavista stamp, please indicate that in your first PM. That stamp will be part of your total order. Specify whether you want the stamp to be clearly franked. I don’t know if they have a circular franking stamp nowadays.
(6) What have I forgotten?
Slavishly Yours
Chris
