Follow-up on the Invisible Mail

***Pre-recorded adventure***

Hullo... do you remember the Mystery Mail we got a while back? Well... we were pretty sure the blank piece of paper had invisible ink on it... probably lemon juice ink! Which gets revealed through heat.

So we tried a candle... nothing. We tried a blowdryer... nothing! Now we are pulling out the big guns... the iron!

Alright Cocoa... iron away!! And watch your tail!!! Nothing worse than a flat tail... (speaks the bear who has NO tail!)

Do you see anything?? I don't see anything!

Nope nothing!

OK... Ministry of Puzzles... was there another ink that was used? This mystery will have to remain unsolved for now... even though the fate of the world hangs upon us solving this! EEK!

TO BE CONTINUED (WE HOPE)

 

Mystery Mail!

 More mail!! This one is from... hmmm... it is beary mysterious...

For one thing... there is something inside the envelope... and it can't be squeeshed...

And then... the return sender is... don't know... but likely a bear!

Although... not sure who... I would tend to think Ajdin but...

This gets more mysterious by the second...

See... it's got a Canadian stamp and... a Ladysmith post mark!! I don't have any stuffy pals in Ladysmith... or Canada for that matter soooo...

What the heck!!??

Ohhh... a cool card. Of a Sasquatch I think...

And... a message from the Ministry of Puzzles! 

I KNEW it was Ajdin... hmph... and a super cool pin button!

Do you see? It's got a Canada Goose on it... 

It complements other pins I have... one from the USA (Minnesota) and one from the UK (with a cat)! Thanks Minister of Puzzles!!!

More Mail!

More mail! Wow... I am one lucky bear!! This looks like a card from Beanie Mouse... one of his world-famous recycled envelopes...

See... this is Greeting Card #1566...

But... while I might tend to think it is a Beanie Mouse card...

The handwriting on the front says differently... and the stamps, of course, which are from the US!

Sooo... who is it from?

Ooh... nice card... Haultain Fish & Chips... that sounds yummy!

Although I did notice... there is no mention of salmon on this menu... which is a bit odd...

Plus... the prices seem rather cheap!

Ooohhh... it's a card from the Ministry of Puzzles... another clue for Sherlock Sandy... just one mo...

Ah-hem... Sherlock Sandy here...

Yes, I know... my wardrobe outfitter is busy elsewhere... so, today, Sherlock Sandy is in flip-flops...

Anyhow... "Where would you be if you wanted to order something from this beary delicious menu?"...

Hmmm... well... given that it is a Beanie Mouse creation, I would tend to guess Brighton... but... the prices are in $ which means it is possibly from Canada, USA, Australia or... a few other places... a Google Search would be useful... What did Sherlock ever do before Google?

Well... go figure... Haultain Fish & Chips is just down the road in Victoria, BC! Must make a mental note to visit there and have a taste test... It's in a residential area, off the beaten path... I wonder what their prices are like nowadays??

Well... that's not too bad... Prices have gone up a bit but... that doesn't include the chips bit... that is extra. Although... I am drooling now!

Thanks for the puzzle, Ministry of Puzzles!!

More Mail for Sherlock Sandy...

Hello... Sherlock Sandy here again. I had a glut of new cases last week. I solved the one from Beanie Mouse and today... we are looking at the mail from Ajdin...

I like the fish stickers... could be a koi but could equally well be salmon!

I like this card... No to pants and yes to fish!

In case you're wondering why I know this mail is for Sherlock Sandy... I peeked!

The car is beary nice... It's been hard for Ajdin with nothing but a freezer-full of salmon and tuna to sustain him...

And he hopes to see me again sometime when we can be closer than 6 feet... is that human feet or stuffie feet?

I miss traveling and visiting my stuffie pals too!

And then we have this...

What is it?

It's addressed to me!

From the Ministry of Puzzles!! Ooohhh... exciting!

And we have... Hmmm... beary mysterious...

It looks like Morse Code perhaps??? What do you think?? I need to consult my Morse Code handbook (on Google)... Except... we have a problem...

Umm... Minnie... do you think I could have the computer?? I know the bird videos are entrancing but...

I have a beary important case I need to solve and...

Minnie? Are you even listening to me??

I don't know that the real Sherlock Holmes had to deal with the idiosyncrasies of a cat... do you?

Sigh... we will just have to be patient...

***a few minutes... several... later***

Ah-hah... I think it is Morse Code and I have found a Morse Code Translator online... Who knew such a thing existed???

Sleuthing sure has come a long way since the days of Sherlock Holmes...

OK... let's start typing...

Hmmm... "The More there is..."

And some more... Here is what the whole message sounds like in Morse Code...

"The More there is the Less you see"... wow...

That is beary profound! Very Zen and... full of Stuffie Wisdom I think... Mystery solved Ministry of Puzzles!

And... nope... the question was "What Is It?" ... hmmm... my thinking cap is on... At first I thought it was fog... because the more of that there is, the less you can see! But... the wording wasn't "The more there is, the less you can see"... sooo... I'm gonna guess even worse than fog... like nighttime or darkness... with no full moon!
