"Thanks James - new flyer with updates. If you cant find any tools to draw round - made up ones will do!"
"Yes this should be easier to read. Tools can be partly cut out if you are worried about fiddly bits like fork tines falling off! A plane would be a good one - nice and blocky . A round tape measure? A sieve? Quite a lot…"
"Hmmm... I cannot think of any tool made as a card that would survive the careful handling of our Post office but I will try."
"Shed? Shed? I got rid of my shed years ago. Now I'm trying to get red of my S%@T. I do have a deck with a few garden tools hidden somewhere - will see what I can find! :) Happy New Year!
Jas"
"A new project for a new year! Get sending!"
"https://toolsfortheshed.blogspot.com/ Here's the accompanying blog just started, We need postcards to fill it up so get sending! Possibility of an exhibition in the renowned SHED GALLERY at the end of…"
"ah, great! looking forward to them!"
"Thanks. I made some postcard with it . I will send some for your next assembling."

Hi Michael, I contacted the Special Collections department about it recently - but they are not open so I haven't 'seen' any of it yet. Another online avenue of exploration for me to follow up at the moment - I am stumbling along. I am very intrigued by the history and development of mail art. I didn't really know anything about it until I stumbled into it as a result of these lockdowns. It's one of those, 'curious things'.

- The emails were empty appart from a link. Also they say to come from Yahoo but the wastedpapiers address said 'damimas.com' All very strange.
I do not want to write to your Yahoo address in case it is compromised.

- Michael Good morning.
John has received two strange emails apparently from you . Their Yahoo adresses are wastedpapierscand wastedpapiersv
Did you send them? This is also strange as you and I have been recently communicating via Protonmail which is very safe. It is free with no ads. I do not use Yahoo anymore it drove me crazy with ads.
I hope your email has not been hacked

I love that orange dog!
I am also enjoying self isolation, we are taking it very seriously and started a week before the official date.
But I still have that I-cannot-cope-feeling. To think that some of my non-mail artists friends are bored. What is that? Do you know?
This is for you, from Retailia with love.
