cards

greetings

and it would indeed be, look you see, greetings cards (of sorts) that feature here. i am not sure that we here in England (or the wider UK) call such things by that name (it does have a sense of the Americans about it), and indeed i would say we would call Christmas cards nothing more or less than Christmas cards. 

there was something of a recurring theme in a couple (as in precisely, at time of writing, two) cards of Christmas which i was so fortunate as to have received this year. yes, i could express, in words, the theme which happened (twice), but surely it would be better to just illustrate it, or them. 

so yes, then, this happened. two very good friends, renowned for their generosity (and patience, which is a requisite to be tolerant of me in your life, i imagine) and known for no direct link to each other, opted to send me cards which have been lovingly beautified with images of David Bowie. 

what i found particularly pleasing about these cards (beyond, of course, the seasonal phrases of goodwill) was (is) that i rather like David Bowie. to be completely honest, i thought that was a private matter which i hardly mention, except maybe the odd comment to that effect here and there on this blog. quite wonderful that two chums should have picked up on this. 

perhaps i am briefly violating some copyright or other presenting the above two in non Commodore 64 mode, but it is just fleetingly so. anyway, i intend not to pirate for profit, but just to show off how truly splendid these cards are. 

my thanks again for these most sensational cards, friends! 

right, the pictures shall surely say anything (more) better than i could, so let me let you get on with it.

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
