Il Postino

Have you ever seen the film Il Postino? I have. It was about fifteen years ago and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was about. I think it was good, but I can't vouch for it.

What I do know is that postmen are good. Unless they are this one.

But today's postie is exceptional in his deliveries.

My own copy of Homemade is already being thumbed through like mad. So many great contributors, so many great recipes.

Lookie lookie. If you haven't already snaffled a copy, do so pronto because all money raised from the sales of 'Homemade' goes to the Salvation Army. Well done to all those involved.

POSTED!

Yikes. Christie is probably going to knee-cap me with her thimble for being incredibly tardy, but I had a brain block, got stage fright and essentially, was just very disorganised.

But folks, I finally, well I should say, we finally got our Great Mail Swap posted (and we've already received a gorgeous lil letter from Charlie!).

The Doctor has been singing Happy Easter to us to the tune of Happy Birthday for the last couple of days. He knows someone fluffy with a cute tail brings something sweet on Sunday. We're off to visit my parents in Tamworth.

Have a wonderful Easter with your families. Peace out.

Tonight Is The Night

Firstly, it's garbage night and the feeling's right, yes it's garbage night... Will it be trash or treasure tonight? Oooh I am rubbing my hands together in anticipation. Gloves and torch are at the ready! I never got around to showing you this little item I picked out of the bin on one of my missions. It's German, ja? I've still not even opened it, but the packaging is pretty super..

The above video is dedicated to my bin. Yes, yes it is. Please watch it. Love it. Play it loud and proud. Look at Kenny Rogers then. Now look at Kenny Rogers (scroll down to number 10). What the heck was this man thinking? He looked like a nice dude before, I liked his wrinkles. He looked a little like Santa. Now, not so much - he doesn't even look like Kenny Rogers!

Anyway, enough of that tangent. We're getting ready to Postman Pat. Though I am a little worried (oh the pressure!) that we're going to disappoint. Never fear, we'll forge forward and do what we can do.

It's our third wedding anniversary next week. Wracking my brains for a small gift idea. It's leather. Whip suggestions need not apply! I'm thinking leather photo frame. Anyone seen any nice ones lately?

Postman Pat

I am notorious (in my own head) for never finishing things. Take for example the day I posted about letter writing with my biggie small. I did mean to get back to you if you commented.. But I just didn't. So here I am to make amends.

If you'd still like to play Postman Pat with us, please email me your postal address. We'll work on something over the weekend, and hopefully, if all goes to plan - your little ones (or you!) might receive something in the mail other than a bunch of bills. Now doesn't that sound like the sweetest plan?

Just a small thing. My biggest little one is 3 and a bit. So we'll be abstracting it up. Don't expect some kind of Picasso wizardry. Simple is key people!

Also, later this week I'll be posting a giveaway.. Excitement to the max people.. Stay tuned.

And finally, the photo that I posted yesterday - well it wasn't the bin.. I put you off the scent though, didn't I? Now you're madly going around all the number 33 houses ripping open the lid only to discover old tins of Snappy Tom (which BTW - are recyclable!) and hairballs, maybe even the missing silverfish.. Who knows.
