I was surprised to receive a very welcome but unexpected gift in the post today. It was not wrapped in gift paper, so I had no choice but to see what it was.
Given my recent rant about use of the word ‘Awesome’, I have my suspicions that it was sent by someone who reads my blog.
It was posted in England, but has no sender details, and no card or other note inside the parcel
So whoever you are, thank you. I love it!
(But it’s still not awesome… 🙂 )

Indeed cool, Pete! Now you are knowing what to wear in Beetly, when you have to discuss fashion, with dog walking women. :-)) Michael

I wore it for the first time yesterday. But it was very cold, so nobody could see it under my big coat. 🙂

It only narrows it down to anyone who reads the blog, Carol. I published my address ages ago, so that people could send me postcards. 🙂

Thanks, Doug. I went for the ‘big shop’ today, and it was fine. Things are not good here, but living in a backwater like Beetley has kept us alive so far.

Yeah.. I’m in a desert backwater… but it’s got here in some places. There are some crazy misconceptions and CDC confusions running around these county offices. I finally told them the other day.. I am NOT going into the building. So I sit in my car for 8 hours… and get paid for it. 🙂

Sweet! My #1 daughter & hubby both have shops which make customised T-shirts to order, but they also have a wide range of slogans to appeal to all sorts of different tastes. Thankfully, they are doing tolerably well, given the circumstances; an online shop is a necessity though, as an alternative. I’m sure you’ll have great fun wearing your gift! Cheers, Jon.
