Due to a busy schedule this week I just got around to posting it today. The tracking no is RR175680097SE (sent via Swedens postal service: www.posten.se). It's coming your way now SimonC.


I got a card through the door on Saturday so I collected it from the sorting office today. I'll do a photo post tomorrow.

I'll get it moving again pretty quickly, but I may re-pack into another box; this one is bursting at the seams which is causing the ties to become flattened, and soon a mailman is going to mess up because of the number of addresses on it. If this is going to cause a problem, can someone let me know within the next 48 hours?

I say: Do it! There is of course a novelty feature in keeping the original box moving, but if it f***'s up the ties it should be switched.

One vote for either option. I might just be lazy and keep them in the current box then.

I found this an interesting exercise:

Selecting ties from the box, some were very clearly not to my tastes. Others tempted me, and would have added diversity to what I have, but then it's questionable whether I'd wear them.

I ended up selecting a Giorgio Redaelli knit, and a Drakes print:



I liked this Mannby & Rorling, but it was just too short for me so it's staying in the box:



Accompanying the remaining ties are a Sartoria Parioli twill, a Harvie & Hudson wool / mohair / alpaca knit and a Lord of Burlington Arcade paisley:

Nono, I'm all for a new box. Was just making a lame-ass joke.





Also, I like posting .gifs

If so, I insist on New York being counted as part of Europe. We actually have more here than you do there anyway.

+1. According to the sheet, Ls7 was supposed to get it after SimonC.
