A "recovering academic", I have left the world of research and teaching Psychology. My current focus is on offering hypnotherapy, Reiki, and spiritual support for clients and hospice residents. I like to express myself through the arts, especially drama (the quirky-comic relief part),stand-up comedy, painting, and the fiber arts.

Stamp of Approval

A quick Darwin-day postal update. After walking what seemed like miles to the post office in W9 and having an extended discussion there about getting a first-day cover of the new Darwin stamp (see "Please Mr. Postman" below), I am able to report some postal closure.

The envelope bearing the stamp with photo of Charles Darwin was indeed transferred from the W9 Post Office to the one on Baker Street for cancellation. It was then mailed to the addressee encased in a clear plastic bag, arriving about five days later. It DID NOT contain the cancellation stamp of the "walking fish" icon as had been described on some official website.
