I laughed loudly when the postman brought in this big stack.
I have only vague ideas what's in them all. Though I know some of must have been on the way for three-four weeks.
Feels like xmas of my childhood to open them all. :-)
And I'm not even the worst, I know about a girl living close, who gets two or three books and such in the mail every day!
You're really stacking it. I don't think I've ever managed that many parcels, but on a few occasions I've come close.
ReplyDeleteSo, are you going to list what's in them all? The readership is curious.
Me, I just received my copy of A Village Lost and Found before the first printing ran out. If yours is not in that stack, you will have to wait for awhile.
Apart from the candy gift, there were a couple of small camera accessories, some silk shirts I'd ordered from India, and various DVDs, including "Life", the BBC animal docu, on Blu-ray, and several TV comedies, I realised recently I was running out of those, panicked, and went on a spree.

ReplyDeleteIt is still available from amazon.com but to get it sent to the UK would be expensive for shipping. It is kind of expensive already, but I do so love a book that is "utterly readable" to quote the review. :-)
some silk shirts I'd ordered from India,
ReplyDeleteSilk shirts? Interesting. I hope you don't also wear silk underwear, or I will have to start calling you Dan Fielding.
It was not so much that they were silk as much as a desperate attempt to find some shirts with a bit of color in them.
ReplyDelete*Two* people here who have read "A Village Lost and Found". It looks so obscure.
So what is it about it?

ReplyDeleteIt is about a village that was lost but is now found! Isn't that enough to pique your interest? :-)
Actually, it is a very original book. There's a long story to both the subject and the research that went into the creation of the book, all documented in the book.
The stereo experience the book (together with its accompanying stereoscope) provides is amazingly good. And to think that you are viewing stereos someone snapped in the 1800s is rather fascinating.
Looks like my mail on a typical day!
ReplyDeleteThere´s a lot of tension in your photograph: you piled the mail such that I´m expecting it to topple over at any moment! Haha, great!
ReplyDeleteThat's how it come.
ReplyDeleteGail, no joke?

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit skeptical.
