Hello lovely ladies.
Today I'm joining Annie at A Stitch In Time again to share the smiles of the week.
My first smile is the postcard that landed in my postbox earlier this week:
It comes from Germany and shows (part of) a rugged man in lederhosen. It is a home-made card and very well done too.
I was intrigued as to what this man would look like and lo and behold the top half is stuck on the back of the card and has to hold the stamp as well:
I really like this guy. He's handsome!
The stamps are interesting:
The right hand one is 250 year Beethoven and there is a peacock on the other one. (I hadn't seen that one before).
Little Frankie continues to give me smile after smile (and an occasional groan when she jumps onto the remote control and I lose whatever I'm watching.)
Here she is with next door's kitty. My friend Dian took this photo.
It's been really bad weather here with lots of rain, as you might have seen on the news. All that chaos near Valencia is a result of bad city planning over the years. Many neighbourhoods and villages are built on flood planes that is why it is an re-occurring yearly problem, but it has never been as bad as this year.
Where I live we are at 950 m altitude (nearly 3000 feet) So no problems here. The nearest problem was a road collapse on the road to the coast about 30 km from here:
This afternoon I had my lodger to dinner. I invite him about once a month as I like his company and we always have loads to talk about. I had cooked steak and chips:
After that meal (it was lunch/dinner) I went upstairs to
get the washing in. I had done a wash as it was nice and sunny today. Then I made the beds in the guest room as my friend Ineke and her partner are coming to stay tonight.
That is all from me today. Of course there will be some funnies below.
Have a fab weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
