More Secret Pal Gifts!
Seriously, I am so spoiled. My secret pal really has me down.
I went to the post office to collect an amazon delivery, and they handed me this brightly coloured envelope instead:
Cool! I thought, and headed off happily. Then I realised that the delivery docket for my package was from Friday 16th, and the exciting package in my hands was posted on the 19th. I went back in, and using powerful logic, got them to hand over my books too. It was tough going, at one point it looked as though they were going to try to take my new package back from me, but I wasn’t having any of that. If necessay I was prepared to point out that they’d written on the label that I wasn’t available at home for them to deliver the packet that very day, and that it was 9.30am and the postman clearly hadn’t called to the house. I’d always suspected that they lied about attempted deliveries, but now I could prove it.
Anyway, the point is, I left with both packages.
Now, to the insides:
Yet again I am totally amazed at how great my SP is. Magazines! 2 issues of Interweave and 2 cooking mags. Stationery! Candy in the cutest little knitting tin! A giant kitkat! Yes! A giant kitkat! (ok, I know, enough exclamation marks, but it’s a giant kitkat!)
Thank you so much Secret Pal. You are wonderful.
I’m so glad you like it. There had been a third cooking mag, but it put the parcel over the 4 pound weight restriction so I stood at the post office and peeled open the parcel to remove 1 magazine. Hence, the taped outside and the customs sticker that states there should have been 5 magazines when in fact you only received 4. Didn’t want to leave you thinking that they steal in addition to the proven lie.

Hey lucky you. Aren’t the colours on the mailing envelope fabulous. You’ll have to share the knitting mags with your Sn’B buddies!
