[Cassini swag: 3 lithographs, a Grand Finale flyer, bookmarks, postcards, NASA stickers, Ring World DVD, info cards for Saturn/Titan/Enceladus/Iapetus]
A couple of weeks ago, I contacted JPL to ask to replenish my supplies of backlit Saturn lithographs. I was put in contact with a new outreach person, who promptly sent me a list (a list!) of available outreach materials, the existence of which I had not previously been aware. I looked at the list and said yes please, one of everything if that's not too greedy. I was expecting not to get all of it.
I was wrong. Earlier this week I received a message from Stores saying, "You have a package waiting for you." I dashed down excitedly to pick up my box. The Stores person looked at me and laughed. "You're going to need a trolley."
I don't have the time at present to assemble swag packs for people, but I can send out the postcards (on the lower right in the photo). They have a good deal of information on the back, so any message from me will be quite short. Would you like one? If so, please fill out the poll below. The answers are visible only to me. Alternatively, you can DM me. (

I would like a Cassini postcard, please! Here is an address where it will reach me.
ETA 01/02/2016: I've closed the poll because I've run out of stamps! All the cards requested via poll response or DM on DW have been sent.
After this term is over I'll do another postcard round, and there will also be swag packs on offer although I'll have to be more selective with those or the postage could get prohibitively expensive.

It is all very strange to me. At that age history was my thing - still is, really, hence the Classics degrees. I am going to Waterstones on Sunday to see what else I can find her.

This is tying into a conversation elsewhere today about how it feels when our children don't share our obsessions. She may yet decide that having a wander round the Roman fort down the road (Burgh Castle) with mummy is a great day out, but right now it's space all the way. So my job is to facilitate that. And not be grumpy that she's branching out.

Nonetheless, I assembled a pack containing everything pictured above and have sent it to L in a big brown envelope.

I hope it comforts you that my knowledge of geography is sufficiently terrible that were someone to ask where you lived, I'd wave my hand vaguely in the direction of north and say, "Er...thataway?"

Oh that's alright. I didn't mean it in a begging way. :)

For some unfathomable reason, postcards simply do not reach me. No idea where they go astray, but I harbor dark suspicions about my local post office, so I shan't waste your time asking for one. *g*

When March rolls around and I assemble swag packs, I can send you one of those in the plainest of plain brown envelopes.

But omg swag! If you really can spare it, I would be ecstatic to receive it.
