Here's a lovely surprise I received in a big shiny orange envelope, courtesy of fellow blogger and all round top bloke Mike:
A musing on mail:
Maybe the use of superfluous postal admin (Mike works just downstairs) adds to the excitement of both sending and receiving something. Why hand-deliver a birthday card, say, when you can pay the Royal Mail 60p to do it for you in secret? Does the added risk that it may never get there, or at least on time, make the whole thing a bit more of an adventure? And does the recipient feel a bit happier knowing that someone has gone to the extra trouble of formal postage?
