Just in case Angola doesn’t have postcards (or post offices) I have implemented emergency protocol 7B. All that means is that I’ve sent three really boring cards from Heathrow Airport. Hopefully the others will be sent next week sometime. ---

I haven’t been around for the last couple of weeks so didn’t know the deadline had moved - I should be able to get mine out on Monday, my town is notoriously short of places to buy postcards!
