A Postcard A Day - Friday 20 June 2025 - Friday Smiles

 Hello lovely ladies, 

How are you all this Friday?

I have a postcard for you that hopefully makes you smile:


It made me smile. Amazing how with a few simple lines the artist creates a funny bird. I like it very much. It comes to me from Germany.
The stamp is nice too:
It's the paper castle from a series of images on the theme of letters and paper.

I've had a busy week. But as usual, I keep forgetting to take pictures. Yesterday I had my hair cut.
I went to Chaning (Yes, that's her name) in the nearby town.
The picture of the pretty lady in the window is see-through from the inside but not from the outside. (Very clever)
I'd been to Pilates but I was too early for my hair appointment. There was no
 point in driving back home for just an hour so I visited the municipal museum.
It's mainly an archeological museum. Although the facade is modern,  it's housed in two historic 16th-century buildings,  the Alderman’s house, the jail, and the Town Hall itself. 

The museum showcases the history and archaeology of Baza and its surrounding area, from prehistory to the modern age. 


Quoting the brochure: The museum features eight permanent exhibition rooms covering over 1,000 square meters, displaying artifacts from various periods like Iberian, Roman, Visigothic, and Medieval. 
In one of the side rooms I found a medieval time piece/clock
 from the local church:

Because it was back-lit, It's not very clear.


This is better. Fascinating.

Then I walked back towards the hairdresser and had a coffee in the cafe next door.

I'm writing this on Thursday evening. Meanwhile with one eye following the tennis at Queens. Two Spanish players  (Alcaraz and Munar). It has gone on for ages. They must be so tired...

That is all from me today. I hope life gives you something to smile about. 

I'm going to join Annie at A Stitch In Time. And of course I will put some funnies at the end.

Have a lovely weekend,
Lisca

Interesting clockwork, my Dad was also a watchmaker, he´d find this fascinating.
Your funnies cracked me up today!
Have a lovely weekend, to smiles and laughter.

Hi Lisca, I'm on catchup today as we popped out this mnorning. I love the postcard which has reminded me that i have a stamp that looks like him. Gorgeous stamp too. I understand you forgetting to take the photos as I do that all the time and then remember when I get home when it's too late. The clock is brilliant. So pleased they saved it. I often wonder how the tennis players keep going, it's been very warm and humid here today though we did have a tiny bit of rain for about five minutes. Thanks for all the smiles too. Hugs Angela xXx

Had to stop by hoping you had seen why I was so late visiting for T Tuesday this week. Love your haircut. I desperately need one, but am waiting for a special they sometimes offer in July.

That's a charming postcard and I like the stamp, too. What a beautiful old clock in the museum. Reminds me of Rube Goldberg.

I like the looks and name of la Dama cafe and bar.

I loved the funnies, especially the one about the idiot. I also like the one about the toothbrush. I think I'm going to create my own "oughtobiography." Have a super weekend, dear.

oh Lisca you always have great funnies. I like your stylish hairstyle and pic. LOVED the story of your family camping.... ahhhh safe times of exploration.
I know who you mean with " he's an idiot.... "

Dear Lisca,
what a fun post again! I had to smile right from the start – that postcard with the utterly perplexed seagull is simply hilarious ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ•Š️! And I love how you made the most of the time between Pilates and the hairdresser: first a bit of culture at the museum (that old clockwork mechanism is seriously impressive!), then a relaxing coffee – and finally a stylish haircut, which suits you really well. And your smile does anyway! ๐Ÿ˜Š✂️☕

Your “funnies” are all spot on – especially the first one, oh my goodness ๐Ÿ˜†… and yes, we definitely do know who the idiot is. Thanks also for the thought-provoking info about cows, hippos, and elephants – I never quite looked at it that way, but it’s a shocking truth ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฆ›.

Thank you for all the good laughs you gave me – and warm greetings from Austria!
