Another Get Well Gift, This Time From Darwin!

It's been over a month since my surgery at Greenslopes Private Hospital, however my friends on Bookcrossing have been wonderfully supportive and are still sending me gifts and cards.

Yesterday, I was out and about busily doing things when I popped into the post office and picked up the mail.  While there, I also found a parcel pick-up card in my mail, so did so while I was there.  
On arriving home, I opened this wonderful little polka-dotted parcel to find J4shaw had sent me 'Drowning Ruth' by Christina Schwarz and a little sachet of loose leaf white tea!  How lovely is that?  Thank you so much for this wonderful gift to read!  I do look forward to getting in and reading it this year; and if not over Christmas, in the new year (as I have a few books on the go at the moment).  Thank you again, Jfshaw for thinking of me while I'm recovering from my surgery.

A Get Well Gift From Calgary!

Yes, I've been a little under the weather lately; but not horribly sick.  I've been in Greenslopes Hospital for day surgery and I'm getting better as each day passes.

I told some friends on Bookcrossing and had well-wishes coming from near and far.  One of my friends sent me a lovely card from Melbourne with a couple of bookmarks for next year's Bookcrossing Convention - and invited Mum and me to go to it; so we could all meet up there.  What a great adventure that would be!  I'd love to go to Melbourne again.

Then, last week sometime, while I was away at Brighton at my brother's house, a parcel arrived at the post office from Calgary.  This week, I picked it up and I opened it to find one of my wonderful friends from there send me a little box filled to the brim with wonderful things to help me feel better!  This includes a half-pound Reeces Peanut Butter Cup!!!  It was amazing to see one of these; even my Dad was astounded as he picked it up and felt it.  It will be nibbled at little by little.  I must thank Herchelle for sending me this wonderful box of lovely things.  I do love everything you've thoughtfully sent me; especially the cds - I played them yesterday and do love them a lot!  Great music comes from Canada and nobody gives it a chance.

Reeces & Labels from Canada

A few months ago, a friend off Bookcrossing sent off a parcel through Surface Mail and it's finally arrived!  today I went to the post office and there it was in the box waiting for me!  
After having the worse possible week of my computer breaking down on me, burying my little bird on Friday and finding out one of my dear friends passed away last Tuesday morning, I find this little parcel has really made my week.  Thank you froggie66... you're wonderful!

Fairy Postcard

Yesterday, it was a wet and dreary old day... not cold, but rather hot and sticky because it's Summer here.  But at the post office, I found only one piece of mail; and that was a postcard.  This little postcard was from the UK and it was of a gorgeous little fairy.  I love it!  Thank you so much for sending it as a HGG.  You wrote that you posted it off as your 100 postcards for you birthday; such a cool thing to do!  Might think about doing this for my birthday.
