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*.

London Child of the 1870s and 90s, OMGPLEASE!!!!!

Not that I'm keen or anything.

Certainly! Shall I post, or bring them out in December?

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!)
