Re: Journal 67
Thanks, Anita.
Hope both of us get our journal within this week or earlier next week, Chrissie. I do think it must have been the Christmas rush where so many packages and parcels being posted worldwide because I always receive the journal within one week(yes, that’s fast) after our friends in UK received theirs.

Re: Journal 67
Another thoroughly enjoyable read with many interesting and informative articles. I particularly liked David Rudd's tribute to Sheila Ray who, like me, was a great fan of the Barney books. Ilsa's letter from Sniffy, sorry Samuel, was another highlight, I do enjoy hearing how some of our favourite characters are getting on. Perhaps Ilsa has some more correspondence waiting to be discovered. Many thanks to all the contributors and our editor for putting it all together.

Re: Journal 67
Yes, Daisy, very good news.
I worried that it might have been lost in the mail. But I was lucky.
Will read it this weekend. Now I'm off to another time-consuming dentist appt..

Hope it went ok at the dentist Chrissie.
I'm going to read my Journal at Xmas, (sorry, Christmas Nigel) whilst my Wife is working and I have some free time - it's been hard keeping my hands off - the Journal, that is!!

If Nigel or anyone else is concerned that writing "Xmas" is "taking the Christ out of Christmas" (as I've heard it said too), they needn't be...pete9012S wrote: I'm going to read my Journal at Xmas, (sorry, Christmas Nigel)
And don't worry, Pete, the Journal is worth waiting for!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Journal 67
I have avoided using "Xmas" ever since I heard a sermon one Christmas years ago, when the preacher said that in Maths, 'X' is the unknown factor, but in Christmas nothing can be further from the truth. Of course he was implying that using "Xmas" might indicate ignorance of the real meaning. I have never assumed a disrespect was intended though. Interesting article.

Re: Journal 67
'X' is also 'multiply' so it was really a matter of what the preacher wanted to interpret it as.
