Today, I woke to a dull morning. Before 8am, it was drizzling with rain and I knew it wasn't going to get any better than this; and I had to go out. So, I ate breakfast and took the walk to the chemist, checked out the thrift shop for a book that was falling apart (and I found one perfect for my collage I have in mind) and found another really nice book by Stephen Fry. Then, I headed to the post office. Inside the PO Box, I found a blue pick-up card and so I went inside and did just that. I was handed a 3kg Australia Post satchel. At first, I thought it was my book baggie I had going around Australia; and thought it had returned kinda light and really quick (because goofbunny is the last person on that list). Then, when I got it home, I got Stevie out of her cage, sat her on my shoulder and opened the parcel. Inside was another parcel which I opened carefully. Once I got it opened, the bird and I found three beautifully wrapped books with an envelope that had been sealed with wax! We slipped out from between the wrapped parcels two sheets of books labels with Stevie's cute little face on it from my Bookcrossing bookshelf! How wonderfully cute is that?Goofbunny! I gotta say, thank you very much for this! I wasn't expecting all this from you. Not only were there three books: 'Parrot and Olivier in America' by Peter Carey, 'Psycho House' by Robert Bloch and 'I Sing The Body Electric' by Ray Bradbury; but there was a pair of watermelon ear rings, two magnets, a bookmark with a carrot reading a book in an easy-chair, some gift tags and a strip of Ballycumber stickers. What a parcel! I love it! And two of the books are hard covers! Thank you again!
