Week One

Here we go then.

As my brother and I were brought up to be polite and to answer questions and postal correspondence I'm expecting this to be an easy point for him. To highlight that fact, I have used the words EASY and POINT in the text.

I started with some Spanish because we both learned Spanish at secondary school. I'm sure he'll remember that 'hermano' means brother but I'm wondering if he'll take the time to find out that 'oido' means ear. Either way, I'm likely to start all of my postcards with this charming phrase.

I was hoping to get a Flora Day postcard to start the year off but had to settle for an 'Ancient Cornwall' one instead; this should make him feel a little homesick at least.

It might take a week or two before he replies, which means he may have a couple of postcards by this time. He's a busy guy, I realise this. I am still confident of a victory over the course of the year as his interest in my repeated communication wanes, though.
