I think I've cracked it

barbara ender

for IP225 which requires:
1 - string
2 - one or more eggs
3 - cinematic aspect ratio

This would have been a lot easier if I'd been able to find real sealing wax but I lost the stick that came with the seal, and as we are no longer allowed to tie our parcels up with string, it is not something you find in the stationery departments any more. I had to make do with the next-best thing which I thought would be the wax casing of a Babybel cheese. What I discovered is that the red is just a very thin coating over a thicker base of white, it melts too easily and refuses to take the imprint of my seal. So very inadequate, in fact.

Thinking of sealing wax reminded me of my dad who was a champion parcel-wrapper; he knotted every string crossing and dripped red sealing wax over every knot.
