Almost one month after my Dad sent me a parcel, it has finally arrived here in Astana. (Thank you Dad, the Angel Delight, card & magazines all arrived fine).
Causing me some confusion is the fact that Alex’s birthday card arrived at the same time. She sent hers a week and a half after Dad!
Perhaps they stock pile mail before sending it over here?

Anyway, I have a fresh copy of New Scientist to read now, so I’ll leave you all in peace.

7 weeks until Alex comes over
