Text of the page (random words):
and it has been about toilet paper several times over the 5 plus years i ve been doing this truestory and you re welcome to share yours events and numbers that is not toilet paper i ve got my bases ahem covered on that front thanks if you re new here or even if you re old here and just want to join in for the first time here s where you can pick up some tips on how to do just that and so let s start at an appropriately starty place with some numbers i gathered on the 1st of the month 415 years the age of doddington hall just outside lincoln isn t it splendid finished in 1600 it s been occupied ever since and is still a lived in family home today and what could be better than living in an elizabethan mansion house than living in an elizabethan mansion house with two topiary unicorns on the front lawn incidentally july entered 2015 to almost literally a blaze of glory as the met office announced it as the hottest july day on record in our car we clocked the temperature as 39 5 degrees it was an exquisite day in which we browsed the quilt exhibition voices from the inside it s on until the end of august so if you re interested in quilts with interesting stories as many were made by prisoners and soldiers and it was while wandering around their gardens i took what is my current favourite photo of mine of the year i was playing around with the fully manual mode on my camera and either by luck or judgement i got this which i love fortunately mr shakespeare was an obligingly patient model statuesque even also in the gardens i thought i d grab an overtly numbery photo for month in numbers if i remember rightly they re identifying markers for their lily collection and while we re on a blatant number themed photo theme how perfect is this the numbers the name given to this circle of houses these are directly opposite lincoln cathedral like within spitting distance of it not that you would ever spit at lincoln cathedral that would be unforgivable i have gotten ice cream in my hair outside it once but that s were as i m drawing the line and while we were taking the roof tour of the cathedral the guide mentioned that these houses were called the numbers because they were the first houses in the city to get house numbers have you ever even considered that there was a time before house numbers me neither while in lincoln i also spotted 21 out of 25 lincoln barons found and photographed these funny squat little chaps were dotted around the city in a treasure trail to mark the 800th anniversary of magna carta of which there s a copy held in lincoln each baron was decorated by a different artist and represented a different aspect of local life or a person or community group i might well share photos of more of them sometime but for now here are the first 2 i found the first one was just few feet from our hotel at the top of steep hill did someone mention magna carta 800th anniversary of magna carta for anyone who doesn t know what magna carta is i m going to send you over to the british library s explanations as i can t do it justice in short it s a document from 1215 that sort of kind of marks the beginnings of the human rights and freedoms we enjoy in the uk today and i believe the us constitution was influenced by it too anyway there s a new exhibition centre inside the grounds of lincoln castle where you can view an original copy of it they don t allow photography of it but they do allow photography of the vast wall of the building where they ve printed out the entire document highlighting some of the key phrases in gold if you ever allow yourself to think that we in our 21st century sophistication are more evolved than people of the 13th century you need to go and stand in front of that wall and read what they were setting down 800 years ago it certainly wasn t all dusty narrow roads and chickens wandering about being chased by peasants i m ashamed of my ignorance and now from the sublime to the ridiculous 73 the number of items of cutlery we bought for 4 00 in a junk shop we didn t need cutlery but we bought them mainly for the 5 lovely old knives which were just like the one my grandma always used to use to spread butter you know when something just does the job it s meant to do perfectly that s those i knew my mam still had my grandma s original one but the handle s broken and finding 5 of these together with handles in tact i thought they d make a nice little gifts for her and my sister and us too so we bought the lot which just happened to include 68 other pieces too as we were on holiday when we bought them we left them in the car because heck who d take them up to their hotel room what on earth would the cleaner think we were doing in there school catering but having them in the boot of the car made for some interesting percussive sounds every time we went over a speed bump 22 the number of spam messages i returned home to which is 548 fewer than i returned to when i went away in march 548 fewer clearly my service provider has upped the filteriness of their spam filter lately perversely which is the right term for more reasons than one i do sometimes kinda miss some of the more creative and bizarre messages i used to find in there from time to time yet again over 100 spam messages a day was getting a bit much whatever the entertainment value 3 the pieces of mail that landed on my doormat but which weren t for me i wrote about them here and if you re interested i ve got an update on one of them which i ll report in a post of its own next week sometime 3 the number of items of gloriously life affirming mail i received the week after in an act of reparation by the gods of the letterbox was the update i ll update you on next week was my hamlet tickets they ve arrived i m actually going to see hamlet it s real and the 3rd piece of happy july mail was a complete surprise gift from an amazingly thoughtful friend and a zebraful gift at that gods of the letterbox you outdid yourselves i m calling us even now a 3 all draw and finally 48 miles travelled to visit the 60 acres of land that make up yorkshire lavender that s actually another contender for my favourite photo of 2015 clearly my new ish camera is working out for me i did plan to share lots more photo of the visit but in case i don t get around to it soon if you re thinking of going go go now and go quickly before they harvest the lot at the end of august ever since i learned of its existence earlier in the year it s been on my list of things to do and yet coincidentally just in the last few weeks i ve noticed a spate of lavender field visits cropping up in my online life sandie shared her photos of another uk field on her facebook page while hazel blogged her visit to the lavender fields all the way over there in utah there s obviously been something in the water or the air lavender obviously that s been sending us all to seek out these fields this summer so last saturday on what turned out to be the best day in a few weeks and with the impending harvest time in mind we too headed off to take in the sight and scent and there was lots of this happening and not just by me there were dozens of camera big lenses and small all attempting to capture the loveliness of the scene i don t know about you but as a fairly introverted yet dedicated life documenter and blogger i can sometimes feel a bit self conscious being the only person whipping out her camera to capture all kinds of moments and vistas but there truth be told i felt a little self conscious for being one of the hoard of folk crouching and bending and angling themselves to get the perfect shot it was common trendy even and goodness knows that s not a space i ever imagine myself taking up obviously lavender fields are where its at in 2015 has anyone told pinterest or instagram so that was my july some history some sunshine although not as much as i d have hoped some postal shenanigans and a percussion section s worth of old cutlery as ever if you re just here to read then i m glad you did putting words under your nose lavender scented today naturally is absolutely one of my favourite things to do and if you re here to share you own blog post featuring your vital statistics for the month pleeeeaaase read my post and leave me a hello at the same time don t just drop your link on me from a height like a seagull struggling to fly off with an iphone dog child thanks may the gods of the letterbox which would totally be my band name if i was in any way musical look beneficently on your doormat during august thanks for stopping by today julie posted by julie kirk at 17 56 16 comments labels month in numbers email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 25 july 2015 window alarms an offer i might have refused and a greeting from the big easy a repeated case of mistaken address entity a funny thing happened on my doormat the other day well i say funny when it was actually both fairly mundane and for one split over dramatising second a little unnerving but if i d opened this post with the line a mundane thing happened to me the other day would you still be reading thought not any way i came home to find two large identical white envelopes waiting for me fatly indicating the promise of something more interesting than a pension statement inside but what could it be and who could have sent it so many exciting possibilities crossed my mind happy mail freebies gifts treats surprises hurrah but no while the address was correct right down to the post code the name wasn t which threw up its own questions who would give someone their name but my address either they want this thing in the envelope or they don t which is it and the second envelope was exactly the same their name my address the official return address label only deepened the mystery as it was for a local community trust about an hour away with who i have no connection so i opened one just enough to lure out at least two answers what was inside door and window alarms and who had sent them according to the compliments slip inside it was from victim support victim support which is when i had my melodramatic moment someone s threatening me i thought it s like a passive aggressive slightly less gory horse s head in the bed type warning and i wracked my brain to recall any offers i d refused lately and after that i came to my senses googled for the number of the victim support office in the city on the return address and called them clearly despite the unfathomable address mix up there was a woman in another city who was expecting to find those alarms on her doormat that morning someone who unlike me might not have been out of the house that day someone who was probably concerned about something more threatening than an unexpected parcel coming through her door while attempting to explain the situation to the woman from victim support on the other end of the phone she suggested that she put me through to my local office until i stressed that these packages definitely came from their office and then like me she was baffled too although unlike me i don t think she immediately leapt to any sinister mafia esque plotting she apologised for the inconvenience i rejected the apology on the basis that it was the woman expecting the door alarms i was concerned about and not myself it was all very british finally she said she d chat to her admin the next day to try to resolve the mystery and asked me to pop them back in the post with a message on it which i did the following day then the day after that what do you think i found waiting for my on my doormat sorry i set you up for that one no i didn t find 2 white envelopes filled with alarms with my own return to sender and here s why essays scrawled over them but i did find this it s a postcard from new orleans where the sender thought i d be traditional and send a card stating that they re having an amazing time and who promises to call on their return which is all nice to hear isn t it it s just that while i wish jollie a wonderful holiday in the big easy and while i m glad she s planning to call on her return it would possibly mean more to me if i knew who she was or indeed if i knew who frankie and edie are because they re the complete strangers whose names sit atop my address on this latest piece of mistaken address entity so what do i do with this one i can t return to sender as jollie s coming home on the 2nd ask me how i know and anyway she s obviously only on holiday there and so it won t get returned to her anyway so i m going to give it a fighting chance of reaching its intended recipients i m going to put it in an envelope copy out their names and the address but this time rather than use our postcode as jollie has i ll try the postcode of another street which has the same name as ours but which is about 20 minutes away and has a different code as it wouldn t be the first time we had mail intended for that address and then i ll sit back and wait and watch my doormat for its possible return because if it
