God bless the US Postal Service!
Feb. 19th, 2004 04:37 pmThe stars must be aligned just right, b/c I came home today to no less than 3 packages. There was much squeeing wrought, and I think there may even have been a slightly undignified little happy dance. Or not. But the urge was there.
For my viewing pleasure, my Miracles VCDs arrived! All thirteen glorious episodes provided by the lovely
alvafan. Many thanks to Joan for the heads-up about these. I feel a marathon coming on...
Also arriving was the book on artillery I ordered from England weeks ago - British Artillery on Land and Sea: 1790-1820 by Robert Wilkinson-Latham. This book looks awesome. It's the kind of book I'd like to write one day. Pictures, charts, tables, sketches from Admiralty records, even a (detailed!) sub-section on how they made the gunpowder. I'm in love.
For the record,
ealgylden is the coolest person in the world. Procrastinating, but cool ;) Today I received an article on Michael Praed (our dear Phileas Fogg from The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne), handwritten recipes cards, and cookies! Good cookies. Homemade cookies, even. Will have to restrain myself from eating the entire tin by tomorrow. Joan, m'dear, you're a damn good cook. Thank you so much. *gloms you*
What a marvelous day. I just love getting things in the mail, especially fannish items and foodstuffs.
