tingelHA! matemba owes me a cocktail!
How did this happen? A miracle happened! Yes, a MIRACLE!!!
I finally got my sister's birthday present and it was good. (I'm still reeling from the shock) No, honestly, it was really sweet. I did my Masters degree at SOAS, university of London. And I had this green messenger bag with a SOAS logo which I loved dearly and used till it fell apart. So my sister tried to get me another one. She emailed and tried to move the earth, but they don't have them anymore. Finally she got me two absolutely marvellous SOAS mugs and two linen bags with SOAS logo and a promise that I'd get a bag with the logo for Christmas, since now she has the logo scanned and can have it printed on one. How cool is that???
She's been working on this since May. It took so long to get into contact with someone at the SOAS shop and to make sure they don't have the bags anymore. And then they sent the mugs via ship. From Britain to Germany... And they literally took weeks to arrive. Oh, the wonders of international shipping! But all's well that ends well. And now not only do I have the mugs but I'm also getting a bag for Christmas and a cocktail on top!
matemba and I knew about the shipping and thought it was something from South America since my sis and brother-in-law were there this spring. Why else have something delivered by ship? And matemba was convinced it would be something for my flat, something decorative and ethnical, hence the totem pole. :still shivering at the thought: It could have happened. It really could!
