Unexpected Surprise Mail

Having finished playing with  the cards for now instead of getting dressed this morning, I decided to clean up the mess and return the table to its tidy self.  This meant I was still in my dressing gown when there was a knock at the door.  I was greeted by a very young man holding a yellow cylinder, with some sort of machine in his other hand....thankfully he was hardly more than a child and far too young for me to bothered that my hair by this time needed a brush.

I immediately thought he was (a) going to try to sell me something or (b) there was a technical problem with the unit which I did not know about.

Neither of the above!   He was delivering a parcel from Australia post and the gadget in his hand was a technical "thing" that I had to sign with a stylus pen to receive the parcel (the yellow cylinder).  (More technical stuff to learn!!!) Sadly, no paperwork...but gladly a tree can live.

When I opened the parcel, I received a wonderful surprise.  My dear friend Maria from knackful knitter had sent me the most beautifully worked table centre from the other side of the world.  Thank you so much Maria, you are such a lovely thoughtful person.  Hop over to her blog and see more of her gorgeous work.

Don't you just love the beautiful design. It will certainly take pride of place on my table.  She must be a mind reader to know that I just adore hand crocheted table centres. Maria is a very special person, as I am sure a lot of people in blogland will already know.  Thank you again for making my day Maria.  

PS sorry about taking so long to get to the point.
