Hello lovely girls. It's Friday and again I will share my smiles of the week with you.
A postcard in my mailbox always makes me smile:
The card comes to me from someone called Bonnie who lives in Richmond, Rhode Island. She lives on a farm with cows and chickens. She is a nurse and works as a nurse in a high school and she is very happy not to have to work nights and weekends.
The stamps are spectacular.
The stamp on the right reads: Freshwater Protozoans and pictures a microscopic view of freshwater protozoans. It's part of the Life Magnified set of 20 stamps:
The other stamp is a Forever stamp created by artist Camille Chew, celebrates the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Snake, which begins Jan. 29, 2025, and runs through Feb. 16, 2026.
The stamp features a dynamic and colorful depiction of a snake, symbolizing wisdom and elegance, key traits associated with those born under this sign in the Chinese zodiac. In traditional Lunar New Year fashion, the design incorporates elements of red and gold, colors that represent good fortune and prosperity.
In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Snake is considered a “little dragon year” because it follows the Dragon in the zodiac cycle. People born during this time are believed to be wise, deep thinkers with a natural ability to excel in intellectual and creative fields.
Now, what has been happening here? I have been traveling (always worth a smile in my book):
The above photo was taken from the bus on the way to Granada.
Here I am on the bus to Malaga, where I took a flight to Bristol.
I'm staying with my son Phil and his family. It's great to see them all again.
My friend Keren and her hubby came round this morning and we went out for lunch and a walk.
The restaurant is on a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife.
There were Canada geese and ducks and swans.
But also a great crested grebe.
It was fun. I found myself on a beach amongst giant coloured Easter eggs and I was trying to get passed them without falling in the water. I could move about by moving my arms about. All the while trying to keep my own feet on the mat as one is tempted to walk forward in real life. Very strange, but it was fun.
That is all from me.
As per usual, there will be some funnies at the end.
Wishing everyone an enjoyable weekend.

Have a wonderful time with your son and the rest of your family, as well as your friends Lisca. Did you like using the virtual reality glasses? I've used them a couple of times and they were fun. hugs-Erika
The snake-stamp is WOW. As are the Freshwater Protozoans ... I had no idea!
I feel sorry "forever" is lined-through just due to three stupid men.
VERY cool pic of you with the game! I´d like to try, too!!!
LOL, I learned "French" at school, vraiment.
Austria would be quick! OMG, not long enough.... Neighbors think I´m crazy, you malde "laugh out loud".
Hups. Am safe. Want to purchase tram-tickets today, you scared me.
Bet I´ll find nice people, though, have a great Friday!
Pleased to see you're having a good time away and spending time with family. Loving the new stamps too. Loving the funnies! Some people come up with interesting ways to create their passwords for sure. Have a good weekend, hugs Angela xXx

Love the stamps on your card. Have a super time in UK with your son and family. I guess I will have to get used to wearing a coat again!
I tried my sons virtual game and he was amazed that I didn't fall over. Apparently everyone else who tried it did. It was a bit weird but as you say, great fun.
Thanks for the smiles. Kate x
how fun to try the game with your grand kids, and to see your family again. The funnies were SO funny
