don't worry

My mom received a piece of mail in a disgusting state this week. The letter (from a financial planner) had been sealed in a little plastic bag with Canada Post's apologies about it's condition. Thank goodness for the plastic bag, because it was covered in bird poop, front and back. There was even a little bird feather stuck to the envelope in case you couldn't tell what all that white stuff was. I can't fathom how it could it have happened. It looked like the letter had been sitting in a bird's nest for a week.

The form I'm currently working on for my visa application is overwhelming. Anyone remember the dates of my return from France in 1999 and England in 2004? The only stamped on my passport on the way into those countries, and I'm supposed to be giving details of all visits I've made to countries outside Australia in the last 10 years.

Update on our household appliances: the dryer broke this week. The new one arrives Thursday.
