A Postcard A Day - Friday 3 September 2021 - Friday Smiles

 Hello lovely ladies,

Here we are again at the end of another week and also at the beginning of another month. (hello September!).

My postcard this morning comes from Germany. It is a home-made card with two cats on it:

As far as I can read his handwriting, his cats are called Killmaushie and Minimops.

The stamp is a regular one but what looks like another stamp is in fact a sticker of a cat in a box.

Looking back over the week, it hasn't been a bad week at all. Here are my daily photo collages:

Friday we went out with our friends. We went to a local bar 5 minutes walk from where we live. The weather was warm and balmy and we sat outside (like everyone else). It was lovely. 

We had a light lunch, knowing we would be going out in the evening. I just made an apple/tuna salad.

On Saturday we had a lie-in (of course) and then had a leisurely breakfast out on the patio.

I made my hubby very happy by cooking him a fish pie. (Mr Paul's Pantry)

Hubby has been planting trees and needed some canes, and we chanced upon a lovely garden centre that only sold trees. Just outside the village. We will be back!

Sunday we went to church and relaxed at home in the afternoon. Monday we pottered about the house and did food shopping in the afternoon. All mundane stuff.

On Tuesdays there is market in our village (practically behind our house). I needed some mixed herbs so I popped round to the 'herb man'. He was already packing up, but he rummaged through his bags that were already in the van and came up with this rather big bag of provencal herbs.

We had lunch in our favorite restaurant along the motorway. I had grilled chicken breast. My portion is usually so large that we can take half of it home and I make a chicken curry for the next day!

Wednesday I accompanied my husband to the hospital for his blood test because then we go out for breakfast (As he has had to be nil by mouth). An Andalusian breakfast consists of toasted bread with olive oil, salt and a sauce of tomatoes zapped with a hand blender. 

We also had coffee and orange juice. They have a machine that squeezes oranges. (Most bars have them)

On Thursday we went to the oncologist at the hospital. We got new chemo therapy pills, and an appointment for a TAC scan next month.

I had forgotten something when we did our shopping yesterday, so we popped into Mercadona, a supermarket not far from the hospital.

We also went to our own (village) health center as hubby had discovered a staple in his tummy. So we asked the duty nurse if he could remove it. But our doctor had spotted us, called us into his office and he did it himself. 

That was my week! Have you had a good week? Things to smile about? Let us know, visit Annie at A Stitch In Time and Virginia at Rocking Your World Friday.

Of course I will print some funnies at the end. Today they are all about libraries. I hope you enjoy them.

Have a lovely weekend and a good week ahead.

Keep smiling,

Hugs,

Lisca
