Sunday Stamps

Again we had a free-for-all, whatever-you-wish theme for this week.

So, since the sun has come out and made feel a wee bit giddy, 

I chose cartoon characters to be my theme.

Specifically these creatures.

I had never heard of Moomins until I started Postcrossing. A surprising number of people request cards with these white hippo looking creatures. These trolls have been around for about 65 years since Tove Jansson first created them in book and comic strip form. Apparently they are a carefree and adventurous family who live in Moominvalley in the forests of Finland.

I tried watching a few videos but am afraid they just didn't bring out the inner child in me. Maybe I am a little more subversive having been a Rocky and Bullwinkle fan.

and, because I know you are all wondering about those beer vats...

They arrived a short time ago, safe and sound at the Molson plant on Carlingview after nine days on the road.

apparently it will now take several months (months!) to hook up the vats.

I resolve...

There are a few resolutions I could be following through on. Like heading back to the gym and working out - it has been far too long and I am expecting a guilt inducing phone call from my personal trainer any day now.

But, I still have chocolate that needs eating. And I got a wonderfully soft pair of pyjamas and cute slippers for Christmas that need breaking in. And a new book to read (actually two new books.) One is Bill Bryson's At Home, which I am reading at home because remember what happened the last time I read one of his books out in public.
