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?
Re the last pic....I thought of something to say but can't repeat it here...................
ReplyDeleteI hope that beautifully-drawn card made the postman smile ...
ReplyDeleteThere are some fabulous postcards there, but the four horsemen of the apocalypse taking a cappuccino break cheered me up no end!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteJust a reminded the closing date is not until Feb 16or so xxxxx
DeleteChin up dearheart
Brilliant! I think you might have to make this an annual competition!
ReplyDeleteThe hand drawn card with postman and dog is TOPS. Also: Gay cards are fab.
ReplyDeleteTell Mrs. M to fasten it before putting it on.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are making me smile. X
The CAUTION! Whores one made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThese are all really great. Can't wait to see the others one you get.:)
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.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't mrs Trellis
DeleteI do beg your pardon. Mrs M, i meant
DeleteI have been reading but not commenting on any blogs for a sad break (for me) in my posting. I had to comment on you postcard competition. This is fabulous and this has cheered me up so much. I love sending and receiving postcards.
ReplyDeleteThe postcard with postman and George is fabulous !
cheers, parsnip
Understood gayle... we are all sending our love x
DeleteWho are all these people from Suffolk sending you cards??
ReplyDeleteMy biggest number of followers come from that county !
DeleteGreat Cards!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIt will get here
DeleteOK, who sent the one of the Blackfin Pub? It's my go to watering hole during the interminable wait twixt plane and ferry.
ReplyDeleteI can't say until after judging
DeleteSome fab cards here John. Love the hand drawn one and I love cock one lol !! Are you going to have a postcard wall?? xx
ReplyDeleteYes ..I think I will make a art wall in the memorial hall
DeleteSO many good ones in this bunch! Love all the gay ones, of course, and the hand-drawn tribute to your postal carrier, and the sweet ones like "Hello Sunshine!"
ReplyDeleteI need more smutty ones
DeleteThumbs up to the YP postcard....wish I could draw.
ReplyDeleteHaven'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!
ReplyDeleteNow Kirk you have ages to come up with something.. make a card from a fav card. Xx
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteEach one has its merits , and many of the vintage ones have a power and humour all of their own x
DeleteLoving 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.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fantastic glimpse into a lot of lives !
DeleteDear, 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.
ReplyDeleteOh I wished u lived closer I could do with you here to make me smile with your banter
DeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Oh and the ones that says ‘caution! Whores’. I need that on a t shirt.
Delete🤣😂😆
Chocolate bomboms? You mad bitch x
DeleteLOTS and lots and lots of entries.
ReplyDeleteDoing up a brastrap (behind your back anyways) can be challenging for the lest flexible of us...
I wouldn't know
DeleteAll cards are beautiful, I like the yellow bear,"hello sunshin ", we need it in the UK ☺☺
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile too
DeleteWhen you get over eighty doing your bra strap every morning is pretty difficult shoulder injury or not.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are all fantastic - I think I would just put them all in a big cardboard box and pull one out as the winner.
I'm getting a few friends over on judging day x
DeleteThat is going to be an amazing collection.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I've said before the written bits are just as interesting
DeleteGreat series.
ReplyDeleteArnt they Rick !!!
DeleteI LOVE the 'Amish Horse and Wagon' one.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a nightmare to judge..... and to reply to I've only replied to 24 so far
DeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe gay cards seem to have come in with the American bloggers lol
DeleteWe could have used that "Caution! Whores" sign in my first Boston neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteLol..I loved this one
DeleteHa! 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.
ReplyDeleteDirty girl x
DeleteAwesome selection love the postman one, surprised to see one from Comox where I live and frequent that pub at least once a month small world. Hope you enjoyed the show this evening John, it's still morning here.
ReplyDeleteIt was great Margo, I felt grown up
DeleteYP's card is tops for creativity, art skills, and humor but I also love "Wish you were here" and the cat faces.
ReplyDeleteMy card must be on the slow boat ...
Hugs!
It will be here xxx
Deletetell mrs m she doesn't need a bra. YP has a great postcard! and who DOESN'T love cock?????
ReplyDeleteLol x
DeleteDisappointed that you chose to keep and publish the camel one. I hate animal cruelty. That card has soured the fun of this competition.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it was cruel photo, I thought they were just being lifted for some sort of transport
DeleteCan anyone explain the photo?
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.
DeleteI hope that makes you happier Jan?
DeleteI suspect it won't ☹️
DeleteFor Christ fucking sakes.
DeleteIt needed a really big tea
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteThis is so much fun, and we're not even the ones getting the postcards!! It must be even better to be you when the postman comes to the door :)
ReplyDeleteIt's even more fun Jenny , because he's so bad tempered
DeleteThe doggies must be going nuts with it all! Sigh, mine definitely got put onto the slow boat.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI agree with the explanation, yes camels are highly prized.
DeleteI 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?
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).
