A Postcard A Day - Friday 20 March 2026 - Friday Smiles

Hello my lovelies, It's Friday and I will show you what I've been doing in the past week and what has made me smile. Of course a postcard is always the first thing in my blog:
It comes from Russia (St Petersburg) from Natalia. I love this card as I love books and reading. This would be me, surrounded by books! The stamps are the standard Russian stamps, but they are quite pretty I think.
I'm reading Precipice (Robert Harris) on my Kindle and I'm nearing the end. My audiobook that I have recently finished is Take No Farewell by Robert Goddard. 
Then I listened to The Unquiet Bones by Mel Starr, about a surgeon in medieval times. He gets involved in a murder case and turns into a sleuth. I enjoyed it. 
I have also finished A Study in Scarlet, by sir Conan Doyle. It is the first Sherlock Holmes story where Watson joins him and they solve a mystery together. This one is partly set in the USA and the Mormons feature in it. It is narrated by Stephen Fry. I love his voice. It is such an 'English' voice, perfect for this book. 
 What have I been doing since last Friday? We had a fellowship lunch at a house near me.
I walked over with my contribution. It was a 'bring-and-share' meal. I had made meatballs.
As you can see below the table was full of nice things to eat.
The man who built this cave house is a Scottish carpenter and don't you just love that window! It's like a Hobbit house:
That's me rummaging in my bag. 

 The rest of the week has been uneventful. On Tuesday's blog you will have seen that I've had a haircut. Yesterday I've had a massage (I treat myself every now and then). I also had another dentist appointment, so I felt I deserved that massage. 

 Of course I will try to find some funnies to put at the end. 

 In the meantime I wish you all a lovely weekend, 

 Lisca
