posted two today. In shock about announced postage rate rise towards end of next month (some details in other thread).

Today I did not, but I managed six in six last week. All postcards to my lil' 'ol widder woman, for whom February lies heavy and I vowed to correspond regularly as a result.

I just put two in the box, one to a new writer from InCo, and one to one of our own hereabouts.

That's my 25th ready to go out.
I sent out 2 and received 2 yesterday.Both of those I received were from regular pen pals.

One out, two in from the US today! One from benjitzu, one random person![]()
Three going out today.
Hooray, I sent 28 letters! I received three yesterday, two ongoing correspondence and one new.
Hmmmmm. After all the missives purposely sent to "tiny Texas towns" from the InCo list, just two replies so far...

I received another two a few days ago - one new, one ongoing. Now I have a backlog of letters needing responses, as I've been catching up with everything else I didn't do during February...![]()
Finished my first letter since February today, to one of my later new Inco correspondents.
I have 5 letters ready for posting today

Been away from home, and the pile has grown. Need to stick two in envelopes for posting Wednesday, but there's other letters to write!!! I'm well behind!

Finished a letter and received one.
Being ill meant my backlog grew to a much bigger backlog than I usually have.However, I have replied to two British penpals and the rest I owe replies to are in the US, so I'm going to take those with me on holiday and write letters on rainy days.

I don't have that excuse, but I have been slow replying to letters. Slower than usual (aim is 2-4 weeks after receipt). Now it is more like 6 weeks.
Two posted today, none in. Did have three in yesterday, including one from across the border!
