A Postcard A day - Thursday 2 October 2025 - Second on the 2nd (A blogpost from years ago<)

 

Good morning lovely girls,

Today I'm joining Elizabeth and Bluebeard in Second on the 2nd where we post a blog that has been published in the past. Mine is from October 2015, roughly ten years ago. Here it is:


A Postcard a Day - Friday 30 Oct 2015 Friday Smiles

Good Morning Friday Smilers! I'm linking with Annie at Friday Smiles to share what has been good this week.

My blog is mainly about postcards so I will show you a card I received yesterday that made me very happy:
I love turtles. Here is one in his natural habitat (i.e. in the water). The card came from the Czech Republic and had lovely stamps on it:
The stamp on the left is shaped like a flag and the one on the right is a spa hotel (they call it a 'wellness' hotel).
The person sending the card is called Eliska (similar to my name) and she did lovely drawings on the back. This personal touch made my day!

Now, changing the subject entirely, I really enjoyed Zoe's 'questionnaire' last week and I thought I'd have a go too:
Location: craft room
Feeling: a bit frustrated. Have bought an external back up storage which I can't get to work!
Loving: my new haircut
Reading: A Year Of Living Danishly by Helen Russell (We are visiting friends in Denmark in January so I thought I'd read up on Denmark)
Drinking: pink grapefruit squash
Anticipating: Collecting my new computer tomorrow(!)
Listening to: Kitty purring
Watching: We don't have TV, and it's night time so there is no view from my window.
Planning: What to cook for dinner tomorrow (guinness beef pie) and what to bake on Saturday (probably something with apples)
Looking forward to: Spending Christmas with my mum in Holland before moving into the new flat we are building.
Creating: chaos, no not true, but I have no projects on the go. 
Need to finish: Backing up my computer before the new one arrives.
Wishing: I hadn't pigged out so much this summer.... I need to lose weight!
Main goal this week: Get the computer sorted.

Now before I go, here is something to make you giggle:

Have a great week, and keep smiling!

Lisca

This is definitely a first look for me. I know how much you love turtles, so this postcard has your name all over it. I love the turtles Eliska drew for you. A very personal touch.

You are the person who got me interested in showing and researching postage stamps. I am always glad when you share what you learned about each stamp.

I enjoyed reading the questionnaire. I see you had a kitty at the time and were getting a new computer the next day.

Loved the WD 40 ad. Very funny. I actually use the stuff a LOT. Thanks for sharing your Second look on the 2nd, dear Lisca.
