The joke is a little note inside suggesting that next year’s may be on time! That’ll be the day!

One positive effect of this issue being so late is it's almost Christmas - so you could ask your nearest and dearest to gift you a nice stout box for all your Cindy goodies!

What a compilation of items and ideas!
It is going to take me till the weekend to sort and read through everything and log what Was in that box. There is so much going on, at least from first glance. I think members need to scan and post (or at least describe) what they receieved apart from the stamp sheets. How many collector's cards and postcards are there? Did we all get the same Quantum stamps? Just how many variants are there? Nice to see a mention of the Laernu triangles; will read soon, and to see a familiar image on one of the cards. Anybody else recognise it? |

Well, quite! I received my box yesterday and have opened it today and what an array of splendid items did spill forth from it. To such an extent that Colin felt that an index page of contents was a requirement this year. How organised! And much appreciated! Time (at least as represented by the calendar) is an illusion to the man, but his (and Alan's) mastery of the two dimensions of space confined within his far-fetched philatelic terra firma is unreal. From my perspective, hours of fun to come and much table space required for laying everything out. On the Laernu Trouven collectable cards, the stickers on the little brown envelopes note eight cards in one of the two sets and maybe imply eight also in the other. I have logged the numbers of the cards which I have, which I am missing, and which I have spares of. Here are the two lists behind spoiler tags in case you want to avoid any details until you have seen and checked over your own set.
On the Quantum stamps, I got one in single form and three different (four stamps, one of which twice but a colour variant as far as I can tell) attached and tied by cancellation to the address label of the A4 envelope within my sturdy white box. Again, behind a spoiler tag.
Interested by your mention of "a familiar image". I wondered whether it is

The variant on the sheet of Turtle Stamps is easy to spot
Particularly if you look at the commemorative covers ! and I've also spotted a second variant
The variant on the sheet of Tortoise shell Stamps is a little trickier
and I've spotted a second variant
BUT Has anyone had any luck spotting the third variants ?

With the Collector's cards I received
Bash and Crackewell #s 1,2,3,5 and 7. spares of 3 and 5 Laernu turtles #s 1,5 and 7. with spare of 7 The familar image will only be familiar to those who subscribed to the Welsh Oddities series, and is on the B&C #5 card. I suspect some form of Whoniverse time rift playing its part. |
