Snail mail

natica-sarns-small.jpgMy email inbox has been pinging with excitement over the last day or so.  And why?  The pings trumpeted (can pings trumpet, I wonder?) the arrival of several work-related messages which were sent on the 7th April.  So that makes, ummm, approximately 3 months in the ether.  They could have been sent by sea in that time.   Or by horse and cart.  At least one was inviting me to tender for a piece of work I had expressed interest in.  A bit late now, methinks. 

Is 3 months a record for email delivery?  Discuss.

    Wow. And I thought my text box with-holding messages over a weekend was inconvenient…

    I just wonder where they’ve been in the meantime.

    Partying on facebook, probably. I hear that’s where all the cools mails hang out…

    Partying, huh? So why wasn’t I invited? I’m hurt, deeply hurt.

    Not sure about e-mail but I got a text today that was sent three days ago. Where on earth do they hangout before arriving?

    Pings can trumpet, I think. If pigs can fly, pings can trumpet, at any rate.

    And I’ve heard there are definitely pink elephants to be found.
