    Default The postman arrived today ..

    The postman arrived today with a package from the USA.

    I was not expecting anything, so this was a surprise.

    I could tell that the large A4-sized envelope contained a book. It was lunchtime but I was flat out, so put it aside to open later in the day.

    It was about 6:00 p.m. when I remembered it.

    Inside was indeed a book. I really don't remember ordering it ...



    How wonderful! I've been wanting this volume for a while.

    I opened the book and began paging through it, and came upon this ...



    Oh my!

    (If anyone knows something about this, please PM me)

    Regards from Perth

    That looks like a great book. I only wish he had sent it to the wrong Derek.

    cheers

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
