I'm working on them. That means I'm well. I've actually inspired Joseph to be happy to be involved painting some Christmas paintings.
That’s wonderful!

Forgot to mention, @CarolM , please ignore the fact that the card you’ll receive claims it’s from Mr Mason. It’s really from me :confused: o_O

Hello.
When are we to mail out these cards?
I mean who is the furthest away from whom?
I got my cards today.
I'm waiting until at least the first week in December to mail anything.
Also, the list seems a little short.
Gotta make sure we get enough cards. So there must eventually be a shut off date when no one else can get in on the exchange.

Back to reality! Just had a beatiful week in Rodanthe, NC on Hatteras Island. I got an awesome moonrise with rods and a rough surf with a rod. Lots of fishing very little catching! Arabella our 10 month old Chow Chow really enjoyed the cooler temps at the beach- she is showing off her stretching ability please not the orientation of both ends! Wife wanted beach front so I booked it! The Noreaster that snuck it maybe the house even more ocean fronty!

Hi Ed

Post to Carol as soon as you want. Things take ages to go to Cape Town. I think they have one postman for the entire city.

For everyone else your postal service last posting dates apply and you’re probably safe to leave it until the start of December. Apart from me (UK) and Lena (Canada) everyone else is in the USA. And Lena and I are in areas with good postal communication, so there shouldn’t be any delay.

When we did TORTOISE it was more problematic as parcels got held up by border controls. Cards go with the letter post.

Hi Ed,
It seems that my address will be the one that causes the most problems with arriving on time. So I would suggest posting mine as soon as possible.

LOL, I am still trying to find that one postman. But he is an elusive bugger!!!

If your daughter is in Budapest for much longer, there are two really good restaurants on the street behind the US Embassy, on “Hold Ulitsa”. I circled in red. The Hungarian restaurant has some really great meals.

Hi Mark

Just to say thank you again. Daughter and friend ate at the top ringed one last night and said it was excellent traditional food and really good value. It was only 2 minutes from the rooftop bar they went to watch sunset.

Where else you talk Tortoise and end up with an excellent restaurant recommendation in a country neither of you lives in? :D

Howdy all. Tomorrow I'll be shopping for just that right set of Christmas cards, and I'll try to get them in the mail in November sometime. Linda (Joe's mum): I'd like to see Adam's name and address on our list, please?
