Hello lovely peeps, Let's hope Blogger behaves itself today and I had problems on Friday.
I have an usual postcard for you today as it is the card made specially for the Postcrossing Meet-up in Granada that I attended.
It is a drawing made by one of the girls (Silvia). I had never been able to attend a meet-up. Postcrossing is a thing that one does online (although the postcards are physical postcards) so I've never met any fellow Postcrossers. (And there are more than 500.000 worldwide).
So when I saw that someone was organising a meet-up in Granada, I put my name down.
We were 10 ladies all together. The man in the photo is the husband of one of the girls who came to pick her up.
Each of us had ordered a certain amount of cards and then everyone signed the cards which we passed round the table. That is quite a job as Most people had 30 or more cards. Some 100. I got cramp in my fingers signing so many cards. Most girls had little stamps made with their Postcrossing name:
Good Idea. I'll make sure I have one when I go to another meet-up.
Before leaving we had our photo taken:
I can be seen second from the left.
I shall show you a few more photos of of Granada:
This is a door in a palace called the Madras.
This is just any old street in Granada, and you can see the famous Alhambra in the distance on top of the hill.
This photo is to show you that it's still very hot here. 42 degrees C is 107.6 F. That's hot!
I can't remember what this building is. It's next to the cathedral. I just thought it was interesting.
And now for an image of a beverage as today is the T-Party, hosted by Elizabeth and Bluebeard:
It was my supper the other day. The drink is white wine and I'm eating 'chipirones'. (baby squid)
This is the restaurant. I sat outside as it was still very hot.
That is it from me this Tuesday,
Happy T-Day all!

Fun event!
Oh, that door is beautiful. 42C... bliss! 6C right now here...
Have a happy T-Day!
How wonderful you got to attend that event. Wise decision to have a stamp made for that event and all your postcrossing postcards. I saw several drinks at the table where the women were signing the cards.
Granada has some beautiful old buildings. I know how much you love old doors. And the temp truly is hot. Too hot!
So nice of you to share your wine with us, along with your squid, for T this Tuesday, Lisca.
I followed the link to Postcrossing that you provided - it sounds like a fun organisation. How long have you been doing this? A meetup certainly was a great idea and it looks like you enjoyed it, even though you had to sign a lot of postcards. Does everybody have a special Postcrossing name?
It’s been decades since I visited Grenada and the Alhambra. What an amazing historic place!
Even though your hand got sore, it sounds like a super meet-up. And I enjoyed the photos of Granada since I have never been there. I hope it was a super T day. hugs-Erika
How fun to meet up with other Postcrossers. I like the idea of a stamp. The tyrannosaurus is cute. Looks like you had a fun time. Granada looks like such a beautiful city, but if it's that hot, I would have waited inside the ice freezer. Happy T Day!
Oooh, chipirones ... My favourite snack! Can't wait to visit soon Lisca, but that temperature is a bit daunting for late September - hoping for cooler weather very quickly! Keren xx
Hi Lisca! What fun photos. I need to add Granada to my bucket list during my next trip to Spain.
