The personal touch

Here are some things specially for a few friends, coz I know they will be thrilled...

Here's a chicken for my sister Diane, just to add a chicken and some nice colour to her day. Isn't he lovely?! He was at the children's farm in Tobermory on Mull. Very shiny... And she should share that chicken with her husband, whose 65th birthday it is tomorrow! He is a sailor of the seven seas, he can fix anything mechanical, and he's a dang good cook, too. Happy birthday!



Arthur's friend James sent him some cool sticky plastic stuff that we used for window decorations, and here's the pic. Actual postcard might get written and sent any day now. It's hard to take a picture of a kid and a window, especially with the sun in the kid's eyes. You can probably see HELLO, and the line of yellow below has "everyone" cleverly cut into it, and the thing above is a Thunderbirds ship with ... I'm not sure what the purple signifies. Zooming, I'm betting.

I'm getting Stephen's sweater seamed up, but as it's pretty boring doing it, I'm sure it'd be boring to look at a picture of it. Look, a sleeve attached to a body! Look, ends to sew in! But one day, you'll see the whole thing!
And we are getting ready for a wee visit from some friends from the old country (ie Canada) tomorrow. We get to be the tour guides here! That'll be fun!

Now for a little post office quiz. Here you see a modern pillar box from Fionnphort on Mull. It has a crown, and the words Royal Mail, but no royal cypher. So, who knows why? The prize will be fame and glory.
