Hello, just a quick hello tonight.  First reason why I have not been logged in much is my internet connection has been up and down like a yoyo these past few days... dont know why and neither do the telephone company. Only difference between the two of us is I care.. they dont. 

Next excuse is too many Christmas parties..  been to some good ones I must admit. But nearly over that . Will catch up on some sleep this weekend and maybe look at some stamps. I have a few to look at because I managed to pick up some lots at the auction yesterday. I have some already at home so will look something out to show you.  I have two large boxes to collect next week.. and some I think I will be able to use as giveaways next year.

Maybe one surprise to show you.. my Christmas present to myself   

Not the time of year to be doing much with ones stamps is it. So much going on. I did see the new issue list for Australia the other day and there look some real nice stamps coming out in the new year. More later and I hope you keep checking in for news and stamps.

Best wishes.. enjoy your stamps..  and Merry Christmas to every one.. have a safe and happy holiday season.... Michael
