Oh lord. Now I read your previous comment and I’m thinking “Blogmywiki probably thinks I’m being a miserable so and so”.

Not so .. I was just being *mildly amusing* although I serve and take the point that only I probably found it amusing. ;0)

Hi there Jon. Maybe the editor is astute and persuasive – but I’m not sure what was to be gained from them sending me the picture, it’s not like I said who I worked for. I just think it was a nice gesture… and I’m saying that as someone who usually thinks the worst and (in the words of a friend recently) someone who ‘tends to think about things too much’. Which reminds me, I must write up the story of the florist…

I’m terribly sorry to be so cynical. It may well be the company I keep. I too have (and actually still have) a cynical view of that Oliver bloke and his latest foray into printed cookery just leaves me cold.

I would suggest that the delivery of the parcel and the surprise discovered inside the wrapping is in fact proof positive that his editor is a) an astute individual and b) very good at persuading.

This said, I don’t deny you the joy of the photograph or the warm fuzzy feeling you undoubtedly had when you discovered you were the recipient ;)

Thank you James. This evening I still have a smile on my face because of this.
