Not so good

I had a dream that Australia Post introduced a new size of prepaid red satchel - a smaller one, perfect for fat paperbacks too thick for prepaid envelopes. It was about half the width of the 500g satchel, and was really cheap. I was excited by this.

this post sits oddly with your last. A razor’s edge of creativity that subconsciously yearns only for better postage options…I kid. Tell us more about your latest writing venture.

ugh, i could explain the seeming contradiction but i know you're kidding.

i don't much like writing about works in progress. it is based on a particularly vivid dream that didn't involve australia post satchels, but the process of shoehorning the dream into a realistic world has shorn it of most of its colour and intensity, unfortunately.

I had a dream about a sudoku puzzle that was so difficult it only had two numbers in it to start off with.

Uhhhh.

Actually, that would probably be a pretty damn easy one to solve, given how many correct possibilities would exist...

Tash are you still after a translation of the complete original Brothers Grimm? I have one for you if you still want it...

Yes. Yes I am. What do you want for it?

(Other than a letter. I procrastinated on it, but I had my reasons and they're kinda interesting... but I will elaborate in writing.)

most intriguing...

nothing, of course... charging for gifts takes a lot of the fun out of giving them. besides it came in a load of over a thousand books, a four hundred year old bible, two martin sharp prints and a fossil ammonite, so the cost to me of one book is fairly negligable.

let me know your address.

ha. these are great. the original ending of hansel and gretel: "My tale is done, there runs a mouse, whosoever catches it, may make himself a big fur cap out of it."
