Baggage
My belongings are out of long-term storage. Friday, they bid farewell to Madeira and set sail for me! I dare to dream that I'll be unpacked by Christmas.
Obviously, my popcorn maker isn't in Madeira. Who would be bat-crazy enough to leave such a treasure behind? No, that stayed by my side throughout (and indeed, expired, and was promptly reincarnated).
Apart from organising Madeiran things, today has been all about writing: screenplay work, where words are punchy and concise and waffle-free. Not at all usual for me.
Okay yes, there was a sauna, but that was during an approved break time. And it was for medicinal purposes (cough cough).
Anyhoo, while we're on the subject of stuff, these people buy unclaimed cargo & baggage by the truckload to sell on. Interesting to see what kind of things have been left behind over the years - engagement ring, guidance system for an F16 jet, 40-carat emerald, shrunken head...
No mention of a popcorn maker.

I am a regular reader of this blog and I enjoyed all the posts here. This one too is a nice one. It’s really a sad thing that you have left behind your popcorn machine which is a treasure for you. Hope you will get it soon. I have checked the link provided and it’s really interesting that those people buy unclaimed cargo & baggage consist of engagement ring, guidance system for an F16 jet, 40-carat emerald etc by the truckload to sell on. What a crazy world. Anyway I really enjoyed reading this interesting post.
