Postal goodness
When you buzz my apartment, it rings through the telephone so i know it's someone at the door because the call display says "Aberdeen House". I checked my phone when i got home, and that was on it, from this morning. Aha! thinks I. the postman has been, I bet. No card in the mailbox so I'm thinking that the superintendent must have picked up the parcel. Sure enough, tonight he comes a-knocking. Two parcels! I bought a book on eBay, a biography of Jean Alexander who played Hilda Ogden on Corrie for many years and my prints from Kodakgallery came too. I upload my trip photos to albums there and then pick out ones i want printed and order them from that site. It takes a few weeks to get here but the price is pretty decent. I am sure i can now get them just as cheap locally except all the places that are cheap for prints are places that are awkward for me to get to without a car. I don't print as many photos as i used to but i still like to have my trip albums and some other photos of family and friends.
I've got a bid on a teapot on eBay. The ceramic lid of the container i store my teabags in, fell out of my hand and broke the handle on my teapot. The next most useless item after a chocolate teapot is a teapot with no handle. (or spout, i suppose). The one i want is one they don't make anymore. This one that was made by the Pyrex company. It's tempered glass with a metal band around the middle. We had one growing up and it always seemed to make a really good cuppa. Or maybe it's just that nostalgic thing. Last year Mom found one at a flea market for $25.00 and that is actually very good because most times i see them, they want a lot more for them. I was going to wait until we go to a market in a couple of weeks but there's no guarantee i'll find one so i had a browse round eBay and found this one. For the price i'm willing to pay plus the shipping, it'll come to about the same amount, a little less if my current bid holds. If i get outbid, oh well, they still have them listed on there lots so if i dont' find one at the flea market, i'll try again.
