A Postcard A Day - 5 April 2016

Good Morning! Happy Tuesday!

I hope you've all had a good week. I certainly have. We're in our new kitchen! We have moved upstairs from a grotty cave to a new, light and airy appartment above. My husband has spent more than a year building it, but it is nealry finished and certainly useable. I am a happy bunny.
This is what it looks like:
As I'm going to link up with Elizabeth at Altered Booklover for T For Tuesday, I will add a photo of me drinking something. This is lunch (I made a risotto).

I am drinking plain old boring water, but I'm trying to lose a bit more weight so no wine yet for me.

Now for the postcard. This is one I have sent (rather than received). I buy my postcards in Russia (online) and this is a very popular one:


It is by Russian artist Oxana Zaika, who is famous for painting cats. This has a coffee cup in it so qualifies also for the T for Tuesday...

It is raining here! Which is great by the way as we live in a very arid area and it hardly ever rains. The land needs it desperately. It usually rains in winter but this winter we have had no rain at all. I never thought I'd be ecstatic about rain (having lived in the UK). But there you are.

That's it from me this time. I will visit you all later today.

Happy T-Day and a great week ahead,
Lisca

  6. You must be over the moon with your gorgeous new kitchen made extra special that it was your husband's handiwork too.
    I enjoy rain and how it freshens everything up and makes it glisten. Everything in moderation though huh ;-) Enjoy ♥ Enjoy
    Happy T Day
    I enjoyed hearing about your Paris memories.
    After just spending nine days there long ago I have so many wonderful memories.
    Travel is one of my favorite things!

  12. Oh Lisca, I am SO sorry I'm so late, but I'm having horrible computer problems. It's a never ending one, I fear. Your new kitchen is gorgeous. I am so in awe and after waiting over a year for this, I can see why you are happy.

    Bleubeard gives that cat postcard two paws up. He says it's the cat's meow. Well maybe he just meowed and I took it to be that (grin). Both of us love it so much.

    Thanks for sharing your new kitchen, yo8ur risotto and water, and your lovely cat postcard with us for T this Tuesday.
