Hello lovely girls,
Tuesdays come round very quickly and this time I'm going to show you a postcard, a stamp, places I've been this week and some drink related items for the T-Party and our lovely blog host Elizabeth.
First off the postcard. It comes from Germany:
It shows some traditional windows. There is no information on the card about where those windows would be, but you all know I like windows and doors. It was sent to me by Silke, who lives in Lower Saxony. She sent it for my birthday (last month) and put a lovely sticker on it of a bunch of flowers! So sweet.
She writes that she had just put together two small dressers for her hobby room. (Ikea?) Clever girl!
The stamp is one I have not seen before:
It's from the series Welt der Briefe (World of letters) designed by Bettina Walter and is entitled: Briefburg.
So, what have I been doing?
Well, I was at the fishmonger this week.
That's it for today.
I was surprised to find the shop empty and I asked if I could take a picture.
I bought some clams (not in the picture) and made myself some pasta alle vongole:
Just for myself. (And there is a glass of rosé for the T-Party).
On another day I went to my friend Antonia's house so we could pray together. It was a cool morning and she has a heater under the table. This is very common in this part of Spain. Can you see I have the table cloth over my knees?
There is a small gas burner under the table:
Here is Antonia:
And there is another drink for the T-Party (tea).
My friend Patricia was there too.
Antonia showed us the little baby chickens that had hatched out of the egg:
It's difficult to see but there are three. They are under the red lamp to keep warm. And she has a small incubator with another four eggs. Isn't it lovely: new life.
The domino stones are there in the drinking dish to prevent the chicks from drowning or getting too wet.
This is the impromptu contraption:
When the first egg hatched, they quickly had to rig up something. What you see is an upside-down lamp stand with an infrared bulb on it, strapped to a piece of iron.
Finally, I went to Huescar to visit a friend from church (an hour's drive from here). She gave me a belated birthday present:
A lovely big mug with a hummingbird and a Bible verse on it. I love it!
Happy T-Day all,
Lisca

That's a charming postcard, but I like the stamp even better. Oh my goodness. That is a lot of different types of fish. Most impressive photos. I'm not fond of clams, but your meal looks delicious.
Wow. What an impressive teapot. I bet it made great tea. You certainly gave us several drinks to choose from, including your tea and rose wine. Thanks for sharing your postcard, stamp, fishmonger store, meal, and drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear Lisca.
Forgot to mention, it took me awhile, but I finally found all three chicks.
Antonia has a very interesting looking house, and lots of places for books which I love. I also love all the exposed wood. It's interesting that the heater is under the table. Can you move it if you need to? It looks like a nice visit. And that's a great fishmongers. We have a super fish market not too far from where I live too. I hope you have a great T day. hugs-Erika
I really need to talk to my post-office-guy! Same old stamps every time!
So close to a gas heater???? "Mimimi!" I´d be afraid to burn myself (or find Ingo unconscious, he uses this, too!).
To new, cute life! Awww... and certainly one lived, too, happy belated birthday and to a great day!
The fishmonger photos are great. I love the fish counters at markets like this and at open-air markets where there’s just ice and many types of fish. Your week looks lovely: so many friends.

Fabulous and the fish looks so fresh, I bet your pasta dish was delicious 😊. Loving your new mug too, so pretty! Happy T Day ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
The postcard windows look like one of the digital puzzles I did. A house with blue shutters. I really like that stamp with the pen nibs as castle towers. The castle reminds me of Neuschwanstein, King Ludwig's castle in Füssen, Germany. Oh! You made my favorite dish though I prefer it with red gravy (sauce) It looks so good and such a pretty presentation with the clams in the shells. Happy T Day
I love the fishmonger! That would be the shop I would frequent all the time. The food you made looks delicious - and now I'm hungry! Happy T day!
