Nice surprises in the post...

...they do cheer up a day, don't they?



I am now equipped for audax-control duties!

[clarion]

I understand the tickets - especially the John Otway* one

And the spirit level is something every person should have.

But I have no idea what that is in the middle.

Nice

I was always a fan of the 'Stoke up for the hills' stamp that used to be popular on El Supremo rides

"I saw this and thought of you" 

[clarion]

Ah.  Light dawns in the dim attic that passes for a brain here.

I have just bought some child(ish) stamps for audax duty but would really like some pro quality stamps but where especially with cycling theme?

If you provide the cycling theme, these guys supply the stamp

Just got back home to find that the gloves my mum bought me for Christmas (which subsequently went missing in the post and got refunded) have arrived!

On the down side...

A set of WOLs each for the Cubs arrived while they were away - they opened the parcel in the brief interlude between getting back from their dad's and going away on holiday with me but I didn't get around to pics and all that until today.  A _completely_ lovely present

Granny Annie was very pleased with a nice surprise that he got in the post this week. Pics to follow when I have proper internet later.

Or that I'm a bit shit at phone-typing!

Thank you Clare and Vernon!  I can't tell you how happy it made her, and I was h'especially tasked to let you know since she didn't have your address to send a thank you to

[Clare]

 

I'm glad Grannie Annie likes it and I'm really chuffed that it arrived in time, I missed the official last posting day.

We got the latest bullying from management at  national level: sign your remaining TUPE (etc) rights away or kiss goodbye to your huge 'up to one percent' pay rise. They also addressed it to a person who does not exist. I simply replied "Thank you. My name is not...."

[CrinklyLion]

Earlier this week, a t(not-shaped)towel, from Ruthie and Mcshroom's Irish adventures.  It was to say thank you for lending them my behemoth tent, which is frankly ridiculous 'cos Ruthie gave it to me in the first place... But it is a lovely t-towel

(note - Ruthie and I have exchanged a number of jolly fine t-towels over the years, not infrequently acquired from merch desks at gigs, so there's a bit of a tradition going!)

Then yesterday a pair of rather smart arm warmers appeared with a lovely note to say thank you for the ones that I gave Adrian prior to the york-hull FNRttC when it was looking like the weather was going to be chillier that expected.  Again, an unnecessary gesture 'cos I was given them for free, but nonetheless appreciated!

I have mentioned this one elsewhere but it bears repeating:

Very random serendipitous coming together of random events -

Seeing John Otway mentioned - I was today standing on a junction in Nottinghamshire, marshalling a race. On a post was a poster for a musical event next week - Wild Willy Barrett!!! ( now playing rather different stuff Research indicated)
