The semi-mysterious C8 cancellation machine returns once again. It was previously mentioned that the C8 machine was used to cancel C4 sized (229 mm × 324 mm) envelopes containing printed matter. This is evident from the large number of C4 sized envelopes received over the past three years bearing the C8 cancellation mark.

However, it seems that the C8 cancellation went onto a recent C6 sized (114 mm × 162 mm) envelope, which is four times smaller. This cover is dated 2 January 2010.

Here is my wall calendar for 2010. Orange,  black and grey were the colours used for this year’s calendar design. The orange numeral ’2010′ which cuts through numbers indicate Sundays. Public holidays are also indicated on the calendar.

Three… two… one… Happy New Year!

The year 2009 had ended with a blue moon (second full moon of the month), for people in many countries. Since there was no blue moon in Asia and Australia on New Year’s Eve, look forward to the blue moon at the end of the month!

Have a great year ahead!
