Someday my prints will come
Friday, March 23rd, 2007 12:45 pmI am beginning to think that our local postie must at the very least be a candidate for the British Olympics team. I’m not quite sure which event, but the speed with which he can ring the doorbell, get bored, fill out a missed delivery slip and leg it before anyone in the Athenaeum Club can get to the back door is nigh on legendary.
He did it again today. It doesn’t matter in this case because it is only a small tubular package which has been lodged at the local sorting office around the corner, only 5 minutes’ walk away, so I can get there tomorrow morning easily enough. These will be the remaining prints I got off eBay and which have been delayed for so very long (the vendor kept me informed all through the process, so I haven’t been worried).
I am going to keep an eye out in the future: anyone that quick should be either bionic or a descendant of Spring-Heeled Jack. Either way he should stand out from the crowd.
