A postcard a day - Saturday 5 Sept 2015 Rain, Nanjing and two big hearts

Good morning peeps,

It's Saturday and I hope you had a lie-in. We had to get up early as two of our friends have come to help my DH with the building work. Bless'em. 


A bit of rain here is a major event. It rained (for the second time this summer!) earlier in the week. There is a thunder storm, the skies goes dark and then it buckets down for about an hour after which the sun comes out again. Normally we can see it coming and make sure there are no leaves on the drain. This time we hadn't noticed.... so Graham had to find the drain under the water and sweep the leaves so that the water can run off....



Now if looking at water has a certain effect on you, you'd better cross your legs as there is more water to come...

My postcard for today is from China and features (I think) the floating market. Anyway it is a cool cartoon of the city of Nanjing. Sent to me by Xiaodouzi. 
Xiaodouzi has also stuck on a beautiful double stamp:

It's quite big and takes up half of the postcard! In the circle I read: 'Services  for marriage and family'. I've not been able to find any info on the internet about this stamp strangely enough. But it is beautiful. Thank you Xiaodouzi.

That's it from me for today.

Have a great weekend,

Blessings,

Lisca
