A Postcard A day - Friday 15 May 2026 - Friday Smiles (Lots of them)

 Good morning Smilers! On Fridays we find things that made us smile or at least find a silver lining in everything that's happened. Well I don't have to look far. I'm on holiday and I'm smiling every day.

I would like to tell you a few funny experiences I had in Vienna  and Budapest (Photo below: Budapest)


What a beautiful city! (Budapest)

But first Vienna. There we went to a coffee place (I like my pastries) and the toilets had glass doors. I didn't take any photos (for obvious reasons).... A bit disconcerting, but of course the glass went opaque as soon as you locked the door. Nevertheless, one lady hadn't realized that and called a member of staff to complain. She wasn't going into a glass cubicle! I smiled (I had already come out, so she hadn't seen my opaque door).

In that same cafe (the owner has a sense of humor) they had chandeliers with cakes:

and all the other lamps were made out of petticoats:


Another thing that made me smile was that I found a shop with my name on it! (Also in Vienna)

Shame they didn't spell it quite right....

We caught an early train to Budapest and in the station hall I found this cute lion and I thought Iris might like this 'cousin' of Henry's. His name is Marcus.


In Budapest we had a tour of the city with a private guide. We saw numerous statues and monuments, learned about the history of the country and ended up having coffee and delicious pastries (again) in a place called Müvész.

The pastries were a feast for the eye (and the palate).


Again, a trip to the rest rooms proved interesting. Here they had instructions in the ladies' toilet on how to go about doing your business. They made me smile:


I enjoyed Budapest. It is well worth the visit.

That is all for today. More on Tuesday.

Enjoy your weekend wherever you are.

Keep smiling!
