Newsletter - 2024-09-21

Saturday, once more, and another newsletter springs into place as if by magic. Sometimes it is more than a bit magical, and this week I got the cards added earlier than ever before, though this was helped by the fact that I only had to make one substitution (I could not find a card of Jim Henson, who was born on the 24th of September 1936).

Mind you a couple of the others are tenuous links, but it all adds to the fun, for me, and hopefully for you. 

Now don`t forget The Autumn South of England Postcard Fair is on over this weekend, today and tomorrow, at Woking Leisure Centre. It`s mostly postcards, but there are also cigarette cards, ephemera, and stamps. Transport links are great too, I went down on Friday, did the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines to Waterloo, then SouthWest Trains to Woking, ending up on a bus to the Leisure Centre which stopped more or less outside. I am pretty tired now, but I enjoyed it immensely. And if you go, I bet you will too.

But back to this week, which isn`t over quite yet. And may we present our cast of characters, namely a Roman Road, an Electrical Entrepreneur, the Battle of Blore, Puzzling Punctuation, two Television Triumphs, and a Railway Revolution.......

Well I almost made it, the only things missing are the write ups about the trade cards from our reference books, namely Friday`s Card of the Day" and a few of the Diary Dates in the main body of the text. These will be added in tomorrow. Though I do have a six month check up at the vets tomorrow too, and as I did not get to watch episode two of the original series of the X Files tonight (though I did see the first one on the thirtieth anniversary of the date it first aired on the BBC)  I will be having a double dose of episodes tomorrow. 

Now I am off to sleep, nipper has been snoring for ages, as usual.

Have a great weekend, and if it is sunny do make the most of it. There may not be much more as we near the autumn age. 

Thanks for tuning in, as always, and I hope you enjoyed it. See you all next week, again 

Also to be accomplished tomorrow are the missing pictures from the first newsletter on this site. That will therefore close the Card of the Day Index and allow me to start working on the write ups for all those cards from the books which I have acquired in the meantime since beginning.
