Could the postman possibly?

...BANG any harder on the door? Every time, it is like he is either attempting to be heard in the deepest depths of Middle Earth or launching a battering ram into the door.

But, these brief moments of heart-stopping alarm quickly turn to a flurry of Hobbit excitement because it means Pressies!

Sweet Ginger Clarke (my Rotary counselor from Shreveport) has sent me a lovely package of Louisiana food products AND (most importantly since the last jar was scraped on Thursday last) Peter Pan Creamy Peanut Butter! THANK YOU for a great cheering addition to day!!!

Note of Caution: if a large amount of cayenne pepper (from Tony Chachere's Shrimp and Crab Boil) has leaked into a box which one is opening, it makes you sneeze and cough.

Second NoC: cayenne pepper is not so easy to get rid of... therefore, even if one has washed one's hands, it is best to avoid rubbing one's eyes. (big shock, i know)

It is a sunny Winds-day in Cardiff.
