A JOURNEY OF TEN THOUSAND MILES

A get well gift from ten thousand miles away
--give or take a mile or two.

Anairam in South Africa sent me a package.

Inside was a post card with an Edvard Munch painting
embellished with Anairam's own stitchery and
"A Book of Unnatural Scribbles."

A hand made treasure!

From the upside down part of the world 
where the seasons are backward and
it never snows.

Bringing light...

...and cheer!

Entertainment and mystery.

Plus my blog nick engraved on a tag.

Thanks, Anairam!  Isn't blogging just FUN!

  10. I am so glad it arrived! Yes, let's have a big ol' tomato-throwing party - this neighbour is driving me crazy. Oh well, I guess I could have been worse. At the moment the neighbour is the least of my worries - I am ensnared in many words again. I get so tired - I want to give my poor brain a rest. Is the money worth it, I ask myself? Well, yes, unfortuntaly it is. But after June I am giving it a break, I realy am!
