Newsletter - 2025-06-28

This week it has been just as hot on many of the days but at least the internet has not kept switching off on me. I also tried a new system, of only doing two days at a time - usually I get all the diary dates, then find the cards, make them into pairs, then write them all up one after the other. Getting just two cards, sorting them out, and the write-ups too, is much quicker. And so, until I find an even better way, that is how it shall be done forthwith. 

It also let me have time to expand on some of the descriptions. Furthermore, we had some very interesting cards this week, and old ones too. Hopefully something for everyone - but if you do sit at home and bemoan that I never feature your field of interest, drop me a line -  at webmaster@card-world.co.uk - and tell me about it. Or if you would like to suggest a theme of the week, using your cards and specialist subject, and celebrating a forthcoming anniversary, well, that would be great fun. 

Until then, may I present our cast of characters - a sandy surface - a hardwood house - a crazy crossing - a postal premiere - a bloody battle - a tennis triumph - and Tom`s tale.....

And so, to steal a phrase from the "Looney Tunes" cartoons, "That`s All, Folks". It is late and well dark and I am resorting to the floating keyboard which appears on the screen, or it does when I remember how to get it to move there (which is seldom, and by accident). 

If you are off hunting this weekend, have fun, and let`s hope you bag a bargain, or, failing that, that you get, at last, the one you never thought you would ever be able to slide, so carefully, in the gap between its friends.

It is worth paying a bit more to do that......
