- Week three hundred and ninety nine!
- BERG’s last weeknote was 432. Really makes u think.
- Tuesday I went for a 4k run at 6:30am and it was quite pleasant and had minimal impact on my family. Will probably do it again next week.
- On Thursday I had a cosy breakfast with Russell at Bar Bruno, then lunch with Anna and Sarah at Tonkotsu, and then dinner with Debbie and Dimitar in Borough Market.
- Local news from whatsapp - there is a new cat on the block. He’s white. He’s been breaking into people’s houses, going into their bedrooms while they are asleep, eating their cat food, terrorising their cats, vets bills are through the roof. I love cat drama because, as I have said before, ACAB. The black cat who smashed up my greenhouse has now shredded all of the gro-bags in there. Everybody thinks their cat is the victim but do you know who the real victims are? Birds, frogs, my greenhouse.
- One of the silly little things I do is collect envelope privacy patterns. I don’t know what I’m going to use them for but one day I will do something with them. Recently Vinted has started advertising me old stamps, I’m not sure why, I don’t collect stamps. Ha ha I’m not some sad loser! God! Imagine! Envelope privacy patterns are way cooler. But it did occur to me though that old stamps are attached to… old envelopes. So when I saw 200 old stamps (on old envelopes!!!) going for £8 I thought in this economy that’s about the most fun you can have for £8 plus postage.
- On Saturday I got a box of old envelopes. The postage marks are all Hull, and appear to have been sent to several different clumps of locations. Loads to Petersfield, loads to Norfolk, and loads to the David Cassidy fan club. The dates range from 1957 to 1976. Here’s what I am confused about… all these different destinations, all the same singular sending location, and yet these envelopes have all come back together as a set? How has this happened? What’s going on?
- HULL - THE GATEWAY TO EUROPE.
- Of course what you’re all dying to know is, did I get any new privacy patterns to add to my collection? Oh yeah. Loads. What a haul.
- I now have quite a lot of old envelopes (that have plain internals) to do something with too… 🤔
