A Postcard A Day - Tuesday 5July 2016 - T for gym club breakfast

Good Morning!

It is now well and truly summer! Schools have broken up, legal summer schedules have come into force (like: not allowed to put rubbish/trash out between 8 and 20:00, and anyone in the building trade is not allowed to work after 3 pm) and clubs have all closed for the summer. 

I have said goodbye to my fellow embroiderers earlier and Friday was our last day at the gym. We finished a bit earlier that day and we all went for breakfast at a nearby bar.
There's yours truly sitting on the right. 
The Spanish breakfast is a toasted baguette with olive oil and crushed sieved tomatoes (and some salt).
This was my breakfast. I enjoyed it as at home I don't usually have this.

I'm joining Bluebeard and Elizabeth at T for Tuesday, where we can post anything that has a drink in it. Well, my drink is coffee this morning. I'm not a lover of milky coffee like the other ladies, so I'm having café cortado, which has a splash of milk in it.

The bar is decorated in a typical Andalucian way. Look at the beautiful tiles and the typical curtains:
I love the tradidional cut glass lamps. I have one in our stairway, but with normal glass (not colored).

Here is the postcard that I received today:
You are right if you guessed it came from Russia. The city is Kostroma, which lies about 350 km northeast of Moscow. The building on the picture is part of the Ipatievski monastery, the 17th century Trinity Cathedral. 
This is the tiny stamp (I'd never seen this one before):

Juliya writes:"Do you have good summer days? Hope you do, because in central part of Russia it's only +10 in the 11th of June!" I would happily send her some sunshine and warm weather if I could!

Have a fab Tuesday and a blessed week,
Lisca

  4. Happy T Day Lisca. Interesting breakfast. Here in the US you would never see tomatoes at breakfast. Those tiles are very pretty too. Wow legal summer schedule. We don't have that here either. Here it is just work as usual unless you have a good company policy. But schools are closed and lots of people are taking their vacations right now. Enjoy your slower paced summer. Hugs Erika

  6. I don't even put a splash of milk in mine. I take my coffee black. I've never heard of rules being so different seasonally. Interesting.

  12. Lovely, LISCA....that breakfast would be right up my alley & I think I will remember it for our summer when we have lots of tomatoes!! Enjoy the slower pace of summer - well, I hope it will be more relaxed! And all that lovely warmth. Gorgeous Russian postcard. Lovely to see they still have so many of their old buildings:):)

  14. Good morning Lisca, my favourite breakfast but don't you find it always tastes better in the bar than at home and we even make the tomato with our home grown tomatoes. I have joined your postcrossing group and have sent my first five cards just waiting now to receive some. Also what a good idea the photo scavenger hunt is might also give that a go hope you don't mind. Love your blogging. Ann

    1. I'm so glad you joined Postcrossing. Please scan your postcards so we can see them. Those that you send as well as those you receive. (A bit of armchair travelling).
      The scavenger hunt is fun and doesn't seem to difficult or technical. I shall look forward to seeing your photos there too. They have a Facebook pace too.
