Neither rain nor glom of nit
May. 2nd, 2011 08:44 pmI just received a parcel. At 8.30 at night. Hand-delivered by the contracted parcel-deliverers of Australia Post.
To made the whole situation weirder, it was in a postal sack which could only be opened with a blade, and in that sack was a cardboard box very securely taped up with masking tape, and in that cardboard box was a book wrapped up in butcher's paper.
I have unwrapped the book, and it appears to be a perfectly ordinary - if hard to get hold of - cookbook. After all that, I was kind of hoping for magical properties of some sort.
