Almost an hour late, I’m worrying
Edit….
Over 3 hours late… so I think we can safely write today off and there are no Sunday deliveries…so it is like it’ll be Monday now…but given Royal Mail’s track record I won’t hold my breath |

Wore mine today watching my football team in the FA Cup, hoping it might be a good luck charm.
We were 3-0 down with 7 minutes to go and still 3-1 down in injury time, ho hum, maybe next year.... we then scored 2 in the last 2 minutes to force a replay...it's going on again tuesday |

Delivery due between now and 19.30…it really is ridiculous!
The problem is entirely The Royal Mail…once a jewel in the crown of the delivery service and now a running joke!! |

It sucks. |

How was the fashion show?
Meanwhile, my things are somewhere over or under the ocean. Every time Sparks has had a limited release bundle thingy, I've been about to embark on a trip. This time is no different. I am having it sent to a friend's house; maybe it will arrive before next Monday, but I doubt it. _________________ better drop the requirement that everything be great |

They are all a good fit, I probably should’ve went down a size…but I erred on the side of caution (or should that be the size of caution?)…I’m just deciding which one should get its premiere at the gym today.
Enjoy your trip and be assured you’ll have a nice surprise on your return |

I see. You erred on the side of cotton, really. When I get mine, I will probably wear the KMH shirt until it can stand up by itself.
Thanks for the travel wishes. I am planning to meet up with a young German Sparks fan in Berlin while I'm visiting my younger offspring, who does not properly appreciate Sparks. _________________ better drop the requirement that everything be great |

I wore the Kimono tee at gym, after all it was Kimono day in Sparkstember (5 comments but all favourable) I’ll wear Propaganda for Tai Chi tomorrow not expecting any comments I’m usually the youngest one there (not often I can say that) |

Glad you finally received your package Alex!
I missed my delivery guy this morning while I was in the office... I told him over the phone to give it to my neighbour instead, so I should get mine by the end of the day. |

I wonder if there will be a 50th anniversary package for Indiscreet?
An idea for a T-shirt would be (front) the supermarket car park shot from the inner sleeve but the one used to promote the album with the record peeping out of the shopping bags and (rear) the same shot but from the back as used in the tour promo posters |

My package arrived!!!! I had it sent to a friend's because I thought we would be away when it got here, but now I have both a KMH and a Gratuitous Sax t-shirt to take with me. They are very lovely. The Gratuitous Sax mug is a little small, but it still looks wonderful. _________________ better drop the requirement that everything be great |

I have the mug too, and I also thought it looked much smaller so I made some measurements: I actually contains just a little less than any other "regular" cup, but it's pretty much the same.
The KMH tee is absolutely rad, I can't wait to wear it at work. Now I wish I ordered all the other t-shirts as well! |
