A string for my kite Would really be nice For then I could pull A cloud from the sky, “A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend.” - E.D, Here - here I'm waiting for a little sign Waiting 'til the end of time - Shocking Blue., Letters mingle souls, Listen to the motors humming She is streaking through the sky Like a bird that's flying homeward It's that Air Mail Special on the fly, Oh yes wait a minute, People say that we're crazy We're sick and all alone But when we read your letters We're rolling on the floor, Signed sealed (almost) delivered . . .
*esme appears as a hologram in front of the packed auditorium (there’s a least four of them anyway, don’t quibble) filled with the fine folks who follow her around the aether, and announces . . .
“The Flying Monkeys are all now in transit across the globe. Every soul who requested a hand-crafted piece of the Cloud shall receive one you will all be thrilled to the point of disturbed giddiness to hear.” nods and smiles
Esme was very pleased with the reception she got for her evil joyous plan.
Thank you kindly. – waves, bows and curtsies
As you were, but smiling and wearing a tutu and cape ideally – esme flickers and disappears once more

Well you’re annoying.

Dear Mrs Trellis,
Can you tell me the correct way to address an Anglican bishop. I’ve got him wrapped up, but I don’t know where to stick the label.
Yours in haste, Esme.

The cats and I will be on the lookout for flying monkeys. I hope they don’t pull cat’s tails because mine have their claws and I would hate to have to send the flying monkeys home marked. That would be sad thing. Wishing you the best, glad to see your post. I wonder if I should leave out some flying monkey food ? 🙂 Hugs

Question? Do the flying monkeys prefer to be “powered” by Gin? The ToyBox cats will sometimes stray ( catnip is a rather strong downfall for them ) but their prefered “lubricant” is clear rum, specifically the Calypso Silver brand. I am always fascinated by what is the prefered by different ones. Be well, I am so happy to have been able to see the floating cloud. Hugs

Gin, Coco-pops, Jam Tarts, dried sweet potato chews and cheap tins of beer are the main treats preffered it seems. Catnip! Tis a fearful and also very amusing drug to observe I have noted – laughs. – we all need our treats methinks. – smiles

Dear Esme,
We’ve been away for over a week (4000-km round trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario to deliver Christmas gifts to daughter, son-in-law and grandson) and I just went over to check the mailbox. Lovely Norwegian Wood!!! It will hang on my suspended string of cards I have in the living room. (If I get very ambitious I’ll take a pic!)
Disappointed that there was no return addy – I’ve just sent some American and International cards and have the rest to do. . my card list numbers over 50; can you tell I’m a communicator?? So if you’d give me your address I’d be happy to return the wonderful winter wishes. .. 😉
Thanks so much! Here’s hoping you and Rosie are lounging upon the Cloud, licking sticky fingers from eating all manner of delectable treats!!

What a time you have had Carmen! And I’m so pleased you received your piece of the Cloud and that you like the birdie inside too, you are most welcome! – beams and dances a swift waltz with her around the Cloud.
I’m sorry there’s no address in return, it isn’t possible for esme to give out such specifics without some feeling they ought to return in kind some sort of offering and then the spell would be broken, the vines would grow all over the castle, the bean-stalk would never give a good crop again and chances are at least three sheds would grow chicken legs and start running amock in a smock all over the show. Much as I know that there are those such as your good self that simply wish to send a smile in return, there are others who may not be capable of doing so, or even want to and that’s just as it should be, for tis all part of the culture of kindness that keeps esme afloat up here that kind of malarkey. So no bugger gets it basically. But thank you all the same. – hands over a sticky bun with two cherries on top smiling broadly.
Unless anyone wants to send a ton of cash in an unmarked envelope. They can have it in a flash.
