Mail from "Down Under"

I was pleasantly suprised at work today.
Last day before heading out for a bit or R&R, and this happened to arrive from a friend on the other side of the planet.
Didn't have a camera at work, but here are the contents


A little bit of Oz souveniers
Socks, beer cooler ( warm feet , cold beer ), a "roo" warning sign and my favourite, a watch case, with room for a spare strap & screwdriver.
Very cool indeed.


Close up of the case


Very soft leather. Exceptional quality. And just in time for me to pack a spare watch for the trip to Vegas next week


I often take a spare watch to work, on the off chance I feel like changing up during the day. This will be a perfect companion for my briefcase.
Thanks a Million

Wow nice package contents, wonder where that came from????


For those watching... occasionally in email John will come up with a whacky Q of the day for eg. "So any Kangaroos bouncing past your office now?" So the little sign is just something for John to hang... well, somewhere

Socks - everyone needs socks right? Next time I'll include a Tea Towel ok?

Stubbie holder is very Australian, can you even buy those things in other Countries????

Thanks Amanda
Watch for a Canadian "stubbie holder" coming to a mail box near you.
Might even be a "toque" too. LOL

Ha I'll have to go looking for some more weird Aussie crap to send you then... like Vegemite (damn totally forgot that one) and a Caramello Koala!

eidt - oh and YOU are sooooooo welcome John, hope you find good use for the case. Want me to send you the info on them if you want a second one for C?

Good on ya Amanda!

My wife loves vegemite, but I'm with John......not my cuppa!

I guess you have to be Australian to, uh, "appreciate" the taste of it.
