I know the feeling. I use a yahoo email address as a default. I get 20 or
30 spam mails every day, which I just delete. I suppose it filters out the
rubbish.
By the way, I received a nice card of the Opsreys from Edith today. Posted
in Keswick on the 17th but wrongly addressed. I must praise our postman. No
street and no house number, but someone knew our name and where we lived.
Fame at last!
