I Have Come To The Conclusion

that I must be collecting extremely unpopular or very common stamps,

take this one, it is known in the Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue as number SG 567, it is a 1958 3d Commonwealth Games stamp with margin, unused it is 43 years old, someone has bought and looked after it and sold it at a profit, how much? I paid just 35 pence for this small piece of UK history,

or this one number SG 569, a tad more expensive but then so was the stamp when it was sold at 1/3d but last night on E-Bay it went under the hammer for just £2.00,

but the bargain of the evening has got to be these three SG 454 King George V 1d scarlet corner block with control W35, as all of the others, unused and unmounted, just £1.51 for the block of three, just think these three stamps were printed in 1935 that makes them 75 years old!

then it was feet up for the day and watch a few movies, first Avatar, everything has been written about it, love or hate it I still think it is great, also I am really looking forward to Avatar 2 AND 3, (must remember to order the 3D LED TV before they are released!),

then Mississippi Burning, another film we have watched before, but was powerful enough to watch again,

now this was a strange one, Golden Years it was actually a TV series in 1991, how can I describe it with out using the words, slow, predictable and boring? well I can not, at 238 minuets, yes nearly 4 hours, it was all of the above, but then to something more entertaining Poirot, The Adventure of The Western Star, a mysterious Chinaman and a missing diamond or two, Poirot at his best, then off to bed.
