Bonsoir again! If you are ever seriously unemployed as a Mail Artist, you could start a Birthday Group in which people had to register their birthdays and then send cards to everyone who shared the same birthdate. With 365 calendar days and 2000+ members, there should be about 6 birthdays per day (assuming a normal distribution) -- but if it didn'tr work out that neatly then people could send cards to those born one day before and:or after 'their'day.
Merci! I don't really celebrate birthdays, as every day is a birthday for me. In 4 hours and 20 minutes i will officially be an Old Man. But I don't feel it! (Yet). Bon weekend, Val
Hi Katerina, thanks for your nice comment and 'friend' invite......so, are you coming to Paris in February? Is something going on that I've missed?....or is it just a trip?...Let me know
Bonjour Katerina! Has Dean got you collecting banana stickers too? I mailed a 5-in-a-line complete bingo card to Anna B this morning, and await my invitation to lunch in BC, Canada. (I assume Dean is paying all the travel, accomodation, etc costs). I made 2 trips to the fruit'n'vegetable market this morning and got (inter alia) -- 6 bananas, 14 banana stickers (but only 4 of them were different), lots of dirty looks from stall holders, and the inspiration to write a (very) short story about Mail Art & bananas for Mark Sonnenfeld's give-out sheets. Bestest, Val
This morning as I was walking back from the vegetable market where I bought aubergine, tomatoes and haricot beans, I passed a crew checking the street lighting, one man was up the ladder whilst his two collegues leant against the wall nearby. 20 meters further along the street two Africans were standing in their shop doorway watching. As I passed I said “How many Italians does it take to change a lightbulb?” One of the Africans bent double at the waist laughing, I have never seen anyone laugh like that before.
dear Kate, I would dearly love to drop by for olives, feta and whatever else you still have left to eat in Greece... now I come to think of it I do like Greek food!~)... However, I have to remain a brave dutiful artist and be at and be seen to be at my post in the gallery, making collages, posing with pencil in hand etc. Sigh.
Yes the weather is somewhat warm for the time of year for this pseudo Viking although the weather man tells me the temperature will plummet come Friday and for me that is good news.
Just to prove I am not in Iceland here is a picture I took this afternoon
that is not my long ship blue blistering through the middle.
You're very welcome, Katerina, and believe me, I understand about scanners. It's a fluke I had all those scans--usually just do the front of them before sending--i really don't know why I did them all on that one! As if there wasn't enough to scan that day so I did it for fun?! Haha. The books are lot of work to scan; the ones I receive, no matter how much I love them (and do!!), I usually scan the cover and just a few favorite pages. We'll all go nuts if we scan every single thing. I was putting up some photos anyway last night, and discovered all those and included them for the hell of it. Thanks for your blog and nice comments, I'm very glad you like it ~ and again, it was so much fun getting the cards from you and Dean, and then to see pix of you both decorated with empty wine bottles and working away in Paris -- great to see you!

'That's a very good idea, Val!'
Thank you and good bye, again.

Fret not my fair maiden and pumpkin orange, I shall provide you with a tower in a bubble. But in due time … i'm a bit busy now.
Bonjour! The French chocolate card gor here safely -- thankyou! And it wasn't eaten/nibbled by the French and/or Greek postpeople.
I see that you're up to 311 on your 365 project. What are you going to do when you get to 365? And is the project as a whole going well?
I'll mail you something back before the end of the week, and then I'm off to the Uk for 10 days.
Hope you are well; Best wishes, Blue Val
