I've been barely half-awake all day, for no very obvious reason; there certainly weren't any clouds to blame.

When I was young, we used to have 'scrapbooks' with big (15"x10")? pages of heavy-duty construction paper; I used those for my postcard collection and records of special trips for years, but the last one I bought was in 1995-ish. These days, scrapbook seems to mean a heavily-embellished photo album maybe 12" square, and I wouldn't know where to start googling for the other kind.

Look up "Scrapperdashery". They stock materials for scrap books and while you won't want to buy from them (they are in the UK) you should be able to work out what it is you are looking for.

Thank you! That led to some interesting places -- including a bulletin board with a bemused conversation about the weirdness of people who blog.

Then I excavated a pile of old postcard books and calendars and found a couple of unused ones from the London days. Now I just need to decide whether to use that or go twenty-first-century fancy with the China photos. Elaborate attention to archival-quality materials seems a little beside the point for digital photos, somehow.
