Every week I'm sending a postcard to my brother. If he replies he gets the point, if he doesn't then I get the point. He knows nothing about it, needless to say this is a game disguised as regular contact.

Week Two

As explained in the postcard it's a bit of a double episode this week.

I've acquired some postcards from Moose Allain who sells his superb artwork on www.worldofmoose.com and appears on Twitter - @MooseAllain. I bought the positive postcards which come with slogans such as 'I am in awe of your superb brain' which I was very tempted with. However, if you know my brother, you'll know he doesn't necessarily need slogans like that in his life.

I started with the usual and went straight into it. Apologising for the time of delivery is just good manners as I'd hate for him to reject the postcard. I haven't yet heard back from him regarding the first one and will start scoring soon; not that he's time limited, but I should get the point until he does so. He probably took receipt of the first one and thought 'there's no way I'm playing into that idiot's hands by replying' which is fantastic for me. A 52-0 whitewash will look excellent on my CV.

I coloured in the front myself although I have to say thank you to my four year old for her use of the brown pencil. That was a drama in itself as I was offered a black pencil and a brown crayon before we got the right equipment. I couldn't believe it.

The initial greeting was almost forgotten this week so I wonder how long I can keep it up for before it's lost forever. Two weeks is pretty good for me.
