Hello lovely peeps,
Today I hope to make you smile. I will tell you what made me smile this week and I will put some funnies from the Internet at the end.
First off my postcard. Through Postcrossing I receive postcards regularly and they always make me smile. Sometimes it's the image, sometimes it is the stamp and sometimes it is what people write to me. (And sometimes it's all three!).
Here is my postcard for this week:
It was probably meant to arrive before Halloween, but I only received it the other day. It's not exactly steampunk, but I absolutely love it! Unfortunately the artist is not acknowledged. It could well be an AI creation.
It was sent to me by a man called Hamda in Longuenil, Quebec.
The stamp is the usual (but beautiful) Canadian stamp:
And it features a wintry
scene at the Qarlinngua sea arch in Arctic Bay in the territory of Nunavut.
scene at the Qarlinngua sea arch in Arctic Bay in the territory of Nunavut.
Canada Post writes: This sea arch, known as Qarlinngua (pronounced kar-ling-wah), is located approximately 85 kilometres southwest of the community of Arctic Bay, Nunavut, at the north end of Baffin Island. The Inuktitut name means "like pants."
Locals estimate that the formation is more than 50 metres high. Wind and water erosion over many years likely contributed to the formation.
Nunatsiaq News writes: The winter scene was captured in April 2018 by local Arctic Bay photographer Clare Kines, who traveled out to the formation by snowmobile. Designed by Stéphane Huot, the stamp includes subtle microprinting that identifies the location.
What have I been up to this week? In my previous blog post, I wrote about my long walk on Sunday. Not much has happened since. I did go to my make-up group as I am learning to use make-up, mascara and the likes.
So here is my face for FFO.
Here I have been trying some eye make up. We are a small group of 7 ladies and a 'teacher', who does make-up professionally (brides etc). There are two other 'older' ladies and the rest is fairly young.
We have fun and the ladies gossip a lot. Fortunately their dialect (Andalucian) is difficult to understand, so all the gossip goes right over my head. Just as well as I'm not interested. My grandma used to say: They could sell me into slavery in my presence and I would be none the wiser.
I am also enjoying my piano lessons with Simply Piano:
I have my late husband's synthesiser rigged up and connected to the program on my iPad. It's a bit of fun every day.
The weather has been sunny last week and I enjoy having lunch outside on my terrace:
As you can see that particular day I had salmon with green asparagus with risi bisi (rice with peas).
This week it's going to rain, so probably no more lunches outside.
That is all from me today. There will be some funnies at the end.
Take care and....
Keep smiling!
Lisca
