Yes, I know it's too early to be thinking about Christmas, but the Christmas catalogues are starting to arrive and international last posting dates will soon be upon us.
If you haven't taken part in Secret Santa before and are interested in buying a gift for a total stranger and receiving a mystery gift yourself, then send me the following details:
Your real name
Your address
Your likes/dislikes/allergies, whether you are happy to receive hand crafted items
Where you are happy to send to: Europe, America, Britain , anywhere in the world.
Please do this by the end of October.
I will then match you up with a "Santee" for whom you will get a present costing approximately £5 and aim to send it to them so it gets there by Christmas!

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

Well, no ... but talking of saving postage, I will never forget the year my Santa delivered my present personally, on Christmas Day! It was someone I had never met before, who didn't live in the area, and rang the bell completely out of the blue!
Best Christmas Day ever!

Oh dear! I was trying to type quickly on this thing, and didn't check. I'm sorry, Sarasa, Qouheleth, and any one else who got autocorrected. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif) ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif) The moral of that is not to try typing long lists when you are in a hurry.

I have recently sent a few texts around family. I did a quick preview but missed a few corrections iPad made. Caused much mirth among my sons. I now am editing more carefully and will probably turn off autocorrect again
