I am not a Japanese spammer, and would very much like the Virginia Graham. Can I paypal you some money towards the postage?

No need! I am happy to pay postage to anyone who is not a spammer. It might take me a while to post, as you probably already know from the non-appearance of the David Sedaris book. This can be my PLAN for next week.

Oh, I was just blaming that on the postal strikes. I was in the post office this afternoon sending [livejournal.com profile] beaupepys a tote bag and a hairband-scarf that I'd made her, and had this conversation with the dozy woman behind the till:

Dozy woman behind the till: Does it need to be there for Monday or Tuesday?
Me: No, I shouldn't think so.
DWBTT: Well, you know, I can't guarantee when it *will* get there - because of the strikes -
Me: Oh, that's OK.
DWBTT: *something inaudible about strikes in Glasgow*
Me: So, first class please.
DWBTT: There are two million unsorted parcels, you know, because of the strikes. You could send it special delivery, that's five pounds sixty-nine, that's the only way you can be sure it'll be there for Monday. *pause* Or Tuesday.
Me: No, really, first class is fine.
DWBTT: Well, if you're sure that's OK... *sticks label on parcel and tosses it in bag, presumably to join the other two million*.

Save the postage, bring them when you come. We'll find more books here to balance your suitcase out.

And thank you!

If it was the Molly Hughes you wanted, I have a spare copy of A London Family 1870-1900, free to a good home (1991 trilogy in one paperback).

Ooh, please can I have Nancy in the Sixth?

Yep! Email me your address and I will try to remember to post it (but I have things from months ago, so definitely don't expect it to arrive very swiftly!)
