MANY THANKS VAL,
AS FOR YOUR STAMPS ON PAPER, I USUALLY SOAK A BUNCH IN A BOWL OF WATER, AND WITH TWEEZERS TAKE OUT THE STAMPS AND PUT THEM IN BETWEEN PAGES OF NEWSPAPER TO DRY OVERNIGHT. THEN I TRANSFER THEM BETWEEN THE PAGES OF A HEAVY BOOK WHICH FLATTENS THEM OUT NICELY. NICE WORK FOR A DREARY DAY. OF COURSE THIS TECHNIQUE DOES NOT WORK ON SELF ADHESIVE, STICKY STAMPS.

Dear Val - such a pleasure :-) - I have another set for you - the post office has gone mad - we had NO stamps - we had to use up ALL the old ones - not that I complained I like LOTS OF STAMP envelopes - and now there are new issues coming out our ears :-) - my po guys complain because I dont want to use their ONE R6 stamp but insist on all the R1 fish - I've cleared them out :-( X

Hi Val, delighted the card arrived safely - my first puzzle address card that has made it safely overseas (or at least across La Manche). Scans only required (and very welcome) if there are any postal markings. I'm maintaining a Bray-style register of all my puzzle cards.

Answers to your questions - (i) yep, was given Harriet's book for Xmas and (ii) yes, I would be interested. I await your tips. Cheers, John

no news from M Martin.

he's probably too busy drinking with "E" to care that you're drowning.

i'd say i'm sorry, but that's just how you raised him!!!

De Rien. C'est mon plaisir. It's a nickel. I sent euros to the americans on the list and cents to the euros. sorry it was so simple- I had just gotten back from a scuba trip and was really tired.

I'm already back in the US so...I wanted to send out my address while I was there but I had serious doubts that what sent would actually make it to me. Thank so much for the interest. Got some things to make a few cards out of, sending soon.

Hello Val,

Thanks for your "5". How did you know that the Dave Clarke 5 was one of my favorite bands? (Next to Herman's Hermits, that is:-) ).

Hi Val,

Love your current moniker. I’m really enjoying this year’s tour even with the tragic number of withdrawals from the race. Really sad about Vinokourov. Did Contador lay down a little notice for the Alps stages today?

Yay! Glad the slide mounts arrived, and not all torn-envelope-because-of-box-corners! Val, you are my savior...I rarely throw away ANYTHING (thousands of US stamps, slide holders, etc). And then the day comes when I go on this Cleaning Binge and toss EVERYTHING in the garbage...unless, I find someone to send them to ;-) And that someone is YOU! (' Know anyone who would like hundreds of old Christmas cards???? How about a few hundred postcards???)

Don't be timid, liberate those signs, Monsieiur.

Well sir, those are the most precise coordinates I can give to you, literally, very precise, unless you are familiar with dead-reckoning in the grasslands of north-eastern Colorado....
