Another Quiet Day For Us Today,

we stayed indoors mainly because it was raining, it was a bit of a worry to see water trickling down the electric cable to the outside Christmas lights, normally it does not rain out here in December, still hopefully they will have dried out before we switch them on in the evening, as it was Monday I kept checking what stamps were coming up for sale, Saturday and Sunday it appears is when most people in the UK at least put them on E-Bay, so the first are block of 4 above are known as Cinderella's, they have no postal value but are issued at a stamp exhibition, in this case 1923, a tad expensive at £6.35 for the four stamps,

next 3 blocks of 4 Thomas De La Rue Cinderella's, I do not know when and for what they were printed, but I paid £5.00 for the 12 stamps, so in my spare time a little research will be needed, De La Rue is a stamp printing company that first started printing stamps in 1855 and have been supplying stamps to the Royal Mail since 1966,

we watched some television during the day plus a few games of cribbage and Monopoly, then another Sherlock Holmes but this time played by Peter Cushing, a great favorite of the horror film genre,

followed by one from Piorot, Dumb Witness, if only pets could talk! a friend of Hastings falls out with his aunt, she will not fund any more water speed records, also she decides to change her will, a fatal mistake, but when the only witness is Bob the dog what can Hercule do? then off to bed.
