Always nice to get a surprise in the post.
- Yesterday our new sideboard arrived, incongruously containing 3 (painted) books – Poems of William Dunbar, Impressionist Paintings in the Louvre, and Practical Information Far All. The latter includes many facts about modern life, including the correct certificates and insurance one needs, the Beaufort Wind Scale, useful abbreviations, and waxes lyrical about the world's GREATEST reference work, The Encyclopedia Britannica.
- Ah, quirky packaging. #theyneverhadthisinthe1940s
