Would you be able to pop out into the village (or your local Waitrose) and buy a stick of sealing wax? The joys of shop diversity where brought home today along with half a dozen drinking eggs, a new salami, the dry kind not the wetter sort from the North, teeny-weeny lamb cutlets for deep frying like Mars Bars (the result of the slaughter of teeny-weeny male lambs, baaah), and 20 litres of white@a euro a litre with a convenient little tap on the front.
No kings but cabbages are piling up downstairs from up the hill.
(Disappointingly it's not that the entire population is flinging back the velvet sleeves of its doublets and mantles and stamping rolled parchments with rings and seals, they use it to double-secure the corks of wine bottles.)

drinking eggs? in the words of that nutter Pauline Hansen who by the way is heading your way according to today's paper "please explain" x AA
Eggs that are laid that day or the day before I think. They drink them raw - with an underscore on the 'they'. Highly prized as you have yo know exactly (no pun intended) where they have come from.
You'll have to explain Pauline Hansen now. Is she the fish and chip shop BNPish lady?
I don't think I have seen sealing wax for forty-five years.
It surprised me, then, by being hard: not wax-like at all.
And I don't remember what I used it for on that occasion - except that, obviously, it was not "sealing" as such.
yes indeed she is....and apparently emigrating to UK.
SMH 15th Feb front page. When asked by a journalist in an interview if she was she xenophobic, her reply was "please explain" it has become part of the Aussie lexicon.
