    I figured that this year has been a total of 142 letters written but there is always room for more. I’m trying the Reddit pen pal but maybe there are people here who’d like to correspond.

    Pm for address

    Some UK Christmas cards out today. Not entirely sure yet what I'll do for international ones, as my cards come in just overweight for 10g post without any extra decoration. (They'll be New Year cards by this time anyway!)

    Isn't that a PITA. I really have to search hard for "up to 10g" Christmas cards

    If you start early enough, surface is good to US (when that volcano disrupted air travel, RM aimed to get post to the US within the month).

    Christmas postcards? Recycle the front design off cards you've received?!

    So. I seem to have the worst "Mailbox Karma". This being the second box bashed in a second city, I'm thinking of replacing it with a pinata...

    Somebody really had to work to get at this one! Wow
    Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
    At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

    Good grief. Did someone do that deliberately?

    I think we must be quite lucky in the UK to have slots in front doors for letters to be posted through. Posties however aren't impressed with low ones!

    Postcard sent today.

    I participate in Postcrossing, https://www.postcrossing.com/ and over the last four years have sent & received cards all over the world - over 500 now.

    I also have a new penfriend in Czech to write to this week.

    Given that the other house in the photo got the same treatment, I’m led to picture baseball bat deployed from a pickup truck...

    I think there was an episode of CSI where a couple of characters were out in a car with a baseball bat. The one mailbox, after being destroyed before, this time was full of concrete... so when the whack came...

    It makes you want to be there to see it happen.

    I posted a very long and delayed letter on Saturday! (I started it last January and really should have just sent it in September... It was awaiting some art).
