Just to let all my new, handsome followers know:
I have no money;
American politics are not my first interest;
Crypto currency is the biggest scam ever perpetrated; and
I'm too old and wise to be enticed by your questionable charms.

A regular source of pleasure to dip into
I keep the 50 postcards which feature in my book in this album. Since publication in September 2022, I've collected more postcards with messages in Pitman Shorthand and now have about 500. Fifty Mysterious Postcards: Pitman Shorthand Messages from the Golden Age of the Postcard.

Not really for #PostboxSaturday but I spotted this van on Thursday in Derby city centre. Is it a new livery, turning our posties into "white van men and women"?

I've made a poster to print out and put up in the real world to encourage and inspire people to celebrate the 185th anniversary of #PennyBlackDay. You're very welcome to copy and share in your neck of the woods too. Let's make Rowland Hill proud! 🥳✉️🎉 (Happy to email the image via thlas@outlook.com)

My dear Jean,
I know you're waiting for my answer. There won't be a wedding.

Word of the day is ‘ram-stam’ (18th century): impetuous, headstrong, or reckless.

Locally Sourced Comedy, the new material night, starts again this evening at Little Drop of Poison in Exeter. And they’ve reinstated the alphabetically themed raffle! So here is my contribution, a biologically accurate drawing of an aardvark. It’s FUN, come along if you can. Free entry. 7.30 start.

Review of my book Fifty Mysterious Postcards in Booktime magazine, autumn 2022. May I suggest that this makes an excellent Christmas present for someone who has everything.
