It was a day for going through boxes and boxes of postcards at the meeting of the Postcard Collectors Club. I found some nice cards to add to my collection.
For example – isn’t he a cutie?

A Gift From The Cat
A rather strange photo = the cat has killed the bird and now is puzzled about my reaction to her treasure
Collecting …….
There used to be a BBC program called Collector’s Choice, This was broadcast in the afternoon and was one of our favorites. People collect all sorts of weird and wonderful things – from teddy bears to insects, for example. My folly is collecting postcards. Here are a few of my latest acquisitions.
This one falls into the cat category, obviously.
Belfast Northern Ireland – My husband’s “home town”
A colorful scene in the Netherlands – people and places category
People and places – Sporting Activities
Spotted Today – A Robin and a Red-Breasted Chaffinch
Fizz wishing she had also seen these birds.
Cat On Barn Steps
This is an old photo and rather faded but I like it all the same. The cat was in my sister’s barn maybe 30+ years ago – younger days. At that time we were visiting from Bangladesh and the farm and all the animals were extra special. I am extra partial to cats – and the browns and grays in this photo – and the memories it evokes.
Black and Orange
Finished Despite Katerina
About 100 pieces to go It did get finished with all 1000 pieces in place.
Katerina is delighted to have a new puzzle.
Katerina has found her place.
Latest Knitting
latest knitting – a sleeveless top – I’m about to do the final decreases.
And then I took a walk. And I met this handsome cat.
I saw this beautiful cat. And she was friendly.
The Cat and the Puzzle
We have reached a truce. The cat has not scattered the pieces of the puzzle now that I have strategically placed the puzzle box.
