Mail or Male: Mono Monday

No male around today in my immediate environment, but when I collected the mail from my postbox after lunch, I was happy to see two ordered books had arrived. They help swallow the pill of three bills which came by the same post!  I went out onto the balcony to open everything with my letter opener which was given to me when I was still a teenager by a charming elderly lady who lived in a castle in France!

Thanks to Chantler63 for today's theme.
