Hello lovely peeps,
I have another fun postcard for you that will make you smile:
Although it is not acknowledged on the card, I'm sure this is by the artist Banksy. Banksy started making art in Bristol in the 1990s, around the same time as I came to live there. So Banksy art was something that for me epitomises Bristol. In the early days a lot of his art was removed by the council who considered it grafitti. But now they realise Banksy is really famous and it brings in the visitors.
The card was sent to me by Ashley who lives in Indianapolis. She is a writer and working on book number 4.
The stamp is the orange gerbera:
It is my favorite flower.
I hope you have all had a lot to smile about. I certainly have had lots of fun and cuddles with my kitten Frankie:
I'm continuing to enjoy my archery. Last Friday they brought a target in the shape of an vulture:
Over the weekend I've been on a long (organized) walk:
The weather was perfect. Sunny but not overly hot. (I'm wearing a jumper because it was early in the morning and still quite cool.)
This week we have had some spectacular sunsets. Here is one:
I made a banana cake which turned out perfect (big smile), but a couple of weeks ago I made something that wasn't such a success. I didn't laugh but it might make you smile though:
It was supposed to be a custard tart but the liquid all seeped out the bottom of the tin. I had lined it with grease proof paper, thinking that would prevent it from leaking. But that didn't work as you can see.
That is all from me this Friday. Let's go and join Annie at A Stitch In Time for some more smiles.
Have a great weekend,
Lisca

Oh your poor custard tart. Sorry that happened. It stinks when baking doesn't go right. I made a coffee cream pie this summer and the coffee filling never solidified, so when I sliced it it ran all over the place. Have a great weekend. hugs-Erika
Well done for the successful banana cake. I don't like cooked bananas but many folk do. I made a double ginger cake yesterday which we both love. Sad sabout the custard tart. I've been there so I feel your disappointment!
We haven't had many sunsets this week but yours is lovely. Well done on your long walk. I need to walk more. I've been a bit sedentary this week.
Frankie looks more grown up already. I am glad you are having fun with him. Kate x
Very sweet postcard and love the stamp too. That was a shame about the cake but I'm sure it was still tasty. Frankie looks as though he's doing well. Good collection of funnies too. Pleased I wont be the one to find the skeleton. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
I'v got to admit I did chuckle at your custard tart.....I thought it was only me that things like that happened to. I so love Frankie's eyes...such a lovely blue.
Hugs,

Nice Banksy. I still have somuch to share from his ehibit in Hanover - thank you for the reminder.
Frankie is so cute. And the sunset!
Ummmm, yes,I am with you with the baking desaster - hope it was yummy anways.
Should clean ;-)
Tempting with the skeleton!
Le ou la livre? I have to think about such stuff, too...
Have a great weekend!
Lovely postcard. I would never have connected that with Banksy. Not what I am used to seeing in his work.
Still loving that adorable Frankie. She is so photogenic and not afraid of the camera.
Now you see why I don't bake. I'm a disaster waiting to happen and would make a worse mess than you had.
LOVE the funny about tRump. It is SO true, but many don't see it the same as I. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend, dear Lisca.
oooo the kitten is so pretty
I had a spillage when baking apple tarts this week. The caramel sauce leaked out, and smoked up the house.
spam means what? they said spiced meat
we had a couple cool days now back to the 80's, then snow flurries. Up, down, up, down. yes to having someone be sent for evaluation, amazing someone not fit for office is allowed to run.
and as we know, he's running for dictator on a bedrock of lies, not president. God help us.
