A Postcard A Day - Friday 27 March 2026 - Friday Smiles

Hello lovely girls, Here am I on Friday! Have you all had a good week?

I got a nice postcard this week. It comes from the Netherlands as you might have guessed:

It just brings back memories from my childhood. It was sent to me by Chantal who lives in the province of Utrecht. (i.e. not in Holland).

The stamp is a normal Dutch stamp with a lighthouse.

 Let me tell you what I have been up to. On Monday morning I took my car to the body shop to have some scratches repaired and repainted. So on Tuesday, when I go to Pilates in town, I had to go by bus. This was the first time I had used a local bus and I enquired what time it went. It appeared there was only one bus into town at 8:30 and another one back at 11:45. That suited me fine. I even got a discount because I am a pensioner. 

I had purposely not had breakfast so I went to a well known coffee shop for my breakfast:

It is called Café Colombia and I had tomato and avocado on toast and a cappuccino and freshly squeezed orange juice.

I went to Pilates and then had some time to do some shopping. I bought a lovely Regatta rain jacket which I can use on my holiday in May.

When I was waiting for the bus back home, I saw this mural:

It certainly is Picasso inspired.

I've recently had a birthday and my friends gave me a jigsaw puzzle for my birthday. Well, I could not wait to start it and I did the outside border bit in one sitting and then this morning I sat out on the patio (in the sun) and got as far as this. Of course you don't know what it is supposed to be.... I'll tell you next time.


I will find you some funnies to smile about at the end.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

Lisca

I had to look up what makes Holland and the Netherlands different. I didn't know, but now I do. So thanks for mentioning that Utrecht is not Holland. I'm interested to see what your puzzle looks like, and maybe you'll have more finished for T day. have a super weekend. hugs-Erika
