More Bra Straps

Night shift spoils the weekend as having to have a few hours snatched sleep after work spoils the rhythm of the day. Ive just taken a walk and met up with Mrs M who will be awared the quote of the day after telling me about her shoulder injury
"I can pick up a heavy bag of potatoes but I cant do up my bra strap!"
You cant debate that comment on a bet and blustery Saturday can you?
All is not lost as I am off to Theatre Clwyd this evening to see the stand up comedian Hal Cruttenden which will be fun no doubt
I shall leave you with a few postcard entries to have a look at........make a cup of tea before you start 



















WTF?
















keep the gay ones comming







isn't he lovely?



a prize in itself?


oh errrr















what can you say?

  4. I have been dealing with serious family matters, and may well miss the deadline for your competition, but I have every intention of sending you a card from my beautiful new location! Hooray for real mail that doesn't include payment due dates, eh?

  9. Please advise mrs. Trellis to fasten the bra first, then step into it, lift it with her good arm, slide the strap over her poor shoulder first and then over the good shoulder. It works! And wish her well from me.

  12. I like the "wish you were here" card. Disappointed my next card hasn't reached you yet. Perhaps my recent two will arrive together despite being posted on different days. Some great ones here.

  17. Haven't been able to get to the post office or wherever you buy postcards from, but I enjoyed looking at these, especially the God-created phallic symbol. In the Middle East, no less!

  18. I like all the cards today. They are a good mix. I particularly like the old British seaside one, coming down the slope and the Walls ice cream stall. Life as it used to be. Thanks John for showing them all. xx

    1. Each one has its merits , and many of the vintage ones have a power and humour all of their own x

  19. Loving all the cards, the hand drawn one from YP is amazing. Waiting with baited breath to see if someone has beaten me to it with the road sign one as I only posted mine yesterday, surely the PO have not delivered something the following morning? My posties are lovely, always a smile and cheery wave. I guess yours is wondering who all these nutty people sending cards are LOL. Alison in Shropshire.

  20. Dear, the first card has been my motto for years since my break up. The first two were for love, the next is for purely money and big cock henny! Hence my smile for the time.

  21. The first and last postcards are basically my life. Along with the one with the poodle. I think I’ll go and get some chocolate bomboms to go with this.

    Doing up a brastrap (behind your back anyways) can be challenging for the lest flexible of us...

  23. All cards are beautiful, I like the yellow bear,"hello sunshin ", we need it in the UK ☺☺

  24. When you get over eighty doing your bra strap every morning is pretty difficult shoulder injury or not.

    The cards are all fantastic - I think I would just put them all in a big cardboard box and pull one out as the winner.

  27. The variety of cards just keep getting better! I love YP's card and I hope your postman took note of it. I have two enroute to you but no telling when they will arrive. How many cards have you received so far? I'm sure the final count will be quite high.

  29. Ha! Some of these are gems! I love YP's "Trelawnyd Postman" and the "Pouffe Parade" is pretty fabulous too. And of course the last one.

    YP's card is tops for creativity, art skills, and humor but I also love "Wish you were here" and the cat faces.

    My card must be on the slow boat ...

  33. Disappointed that you chose to keep and publish the camel one. I hate animal cruelty. That card has soured the fun of this competition.

    1. I had no idea it was cruel photo, I thought they were just being lifted for some sort of transport
      Can anyone explain the photo?

    2. Yes, they are being unloaded from the trucks. Camels are transported in open trucks with their heads out and unloaded by hoists, with padding under the belly. They are not hurt. I have seen it in Morocco.

  37. I sent the card with the hoisted camels and mentioned that the camels are not hurt in the process. Camels are highly prized in the Middle East and are worth a lot of money. I was expecting a knee jerk reaction and it came. Thank you Rachael for your explanation. The ironic thing to me is that it came from someone who has almost the same name as me but who apparently makes a judgement based on emotion rather than thinking things through

    ReplyDelete

    1. I agree with the explanation, yes camels are highly prized.
      I was puzzled by why you think someone with almost the same name as you should think in the same way as you do. Does that mean that for instance all men called Peter could have the same tendencies as Peter Sutcliffe, known as Jack the Ripper?

  38. I’m so enjoying seeing these cards. I hope your postman was able to enjoy YP’s. Now I see why people enjoy “Postcrossing” (the postcard exchange program).
