In these days of electronical communications and telephonic devices, it is a Rare Treat to get a Proper Letter through the post. Even a postcard sends thrills shooting through my toes. But to receive a letter from AMERICA, with "Seattle" on the postmark, and American writing on the front - well, it's enough to send a monkey insane.And what was it? Yes, it was a card from a Reader, sent all the way from the Americas, featuring some naughty monkeys and a message, the post scriptum to which was: "I found this card at a coffee shop/mailing center called Sip & Ship. Don't say that 5 times really fast!".
Needless to say I have been saying it really fast over and over all afternoon, whilst trying to ignore the packet of plain chocolate Digestives in the cupboard that I bought for Noel (and remain Unopened, thanks to my friend in Seattle.)
Thank you, dear Martina.

Am totally looking for some Supertramp to download now. Or is it Alastair Cooke? Yes. It was him. I doubt if you can find him on BitTorrent. Back to Supertramp. They're my Guilty Pleasure of the day.
Ahh! Hang on - It's the Proclaimers isn't it?
Supertramp = Breakfast IN
Proclaimers = Lett-aire FROM
I'm relieved that I managed to clear that up. You can all carry on as you were now.
Go about your business...
Golly gee whiz! So glad you enjoyed the card.
I am surprised that Mikey didn't remember the song "Seattle". It was the theme song for a t.v. show called Here Come the Brides.
Overcast, heavy rain and about 54 degrees in Seattle..hmm sounds like London weather!
