Hello lovely peeps,
Gosh time is flying, Friday has arrived! I have a postcard to share with you and I will tell you what I have been doing this week and show you what made me smile. Then at the end I have some funnies for you.
My card today comes from Prague:
Wikipedia writes:
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. Located on the Vltava River, the city has a population of about 1.4 million, making it the twelfth-largest city in the European Union. Its metropolitan area is home to approximately 2.3 million people.
The image on the postcard shows the old town square and the Tyn church.
The Church of the Mother of God before Týn, or Church of Our Lady before Týn, is a Gothic church and a dominant feature of the Old Town of Prague, Czech Republic. It has been the main church of this part of the city since the 14th century. Wikipedia.
I've never been to Prague, but it's on my list of places I'd like to go. Apparently it's always packed with tourists and that is what is putting my off really. I would love to see that 'dancing building':
And the astronomical clock:
Or the powder Tower:
It shows the Infant Jesus of Prague.
Through AI I got the following info:
The Infant Jesus of Prague is a 16th-century wax-coated wooden statue of the Child Jesus holding a globus cruciger of Spanish origin, now located in the Discalced Carmelite Church of Our Lady of Victories in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic. The original statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague was created as a royal wedding gift from a Spanish Princess to her Austrian royal cousin.
It is renowned worldwide for reported miracles, particularly regarding health, family protection, and financial needs, and is often dressed in10 different robes annually.
What has been going on in my household? I have been buying artificial flowers to put in my (super hot) patio. Real plants just die with the heat. So this is a bit of an experiment.
Below are my real tulips. I bought those last week so they are nearly going over, but look, I've put some (fake)mimosa among the stems and it looks really nice:
Outside I have begun to put some of the plastic flowers out:
They are fun to look at. I'm happy with how it looks.
A few streets away from my house I spotted this tree in bloom:
I have no idea what it is but it's pretty.
What else has been happening. Oh yes, my dishwasher had broken down and finally I've had someone look at it:
It's in my pantry, so not much room for manouvering. But he mananged to get it out, and manhandle it to just outside the front door:
And here it sits, waiting for the repairman to bring round his van. Bye bye dishwasher. I hope you can come back soon.
That is all from me today.
I will leave you with some funnies at the end.
I wish you all a great weekend,
Lisca

Never tell a woman to calm down. LOL
Beautiful photos and postcard.
To dance and astronomy - I´d love to see this for real, too!
6C here... Super hot sounds great to me!
Oh, the "poor" man - bet it was quite a job with that dishwasher. Here, I am the dishwasher...
Yes to your first funny... And the second!
LOL. I was delivering batteries to a homestead in the Outback of Australia and there was a sign: "No Jehova´s Witnesses"!!! Thank you for the memory!
Have a fun Friday!
I hope your dishwasher gets fixed soon. The flowers looking brilliant and you wouldn't know that they aren't real.
Have a great weekend.
Well your funnies left me laughing out loud today.
I didn't find your postcard so interesting today but all the information about Prague was very interesting.
I see we both have lovely blossom trees to look at. I quite understand about your artificial flowers. It is a real treat to have natural flowers all around now.
I hope the sidhwasher is soon repaired. Kate x
Hi Lisca, I'm a bit late today as I've been to the hairdressers and with a few other jobs the time just disappeared. The postcard is lovely, there are so many interesting places that I would love to visit. The shape of that building is amazing and I love the clock too. Great collection of funnies too, I can relate to some of them Lol! Have a great weekend. hugs Angela xXx
Good afternoon, I loved your funnies this week. We have a tree called a redbud that looks similiar to the photo. The leaves are shaped like a heart and the blooms are like your photo Good luck with your dishwasher getting fixed Hugs Happy weekend
Oh and also I love your idea using plastic flowers-these days they look real too
Prague is a gorgeous city! Growing up, every Irish house had a Mother of Prague statue.
