To start the week

... Well, even though we are almost on halfway there, when it comes to this week, I wanted to share some of the postcards I have received during the last three days:

... No, vaikka viikko alkaakin olla puolivälissä, niin halusin silti jakaa muutaman viime päivinä saamani kortin kanssanne:

Enchanting cards

There's something magical about these cards, isn't there?

Näissä korteissa on jotain taianomaista, vai mitä olet mieltä?

Coffee for 2017

A couple of lovely cards to start 2017...

We finally got snow on the New Year's Eve, and since the days haven't felt as depressing as they tended; I've already noticed this has had an effect on my mood. Looking forward to the spring already, though!

Pari hienoa korttia näin uuden vuoden alkuun...

Lunta saatiin sitten lopultakin, ja olen jo ehtinyt huomata sen vaikuttaneen positiivisesti omaan mielialaani. Päivät eivät ole tuntuneet yhtä masentavilta kuin mitä ehkä aikaisemmin. Kevättä kohti siis!

I spy happiness

There's that wondeful "I spy..." tag in the official forum, where the member is supposed to indicate what he/she spies... and then the next person should tag him/her and send a card with a hint of that thing that was spied. I spied happiness.

Viralliselta foorumilta löytyy hurmaava hippaleikki (tag) nimeltään "I spy...", jossa osallistujan on tarkoitus "vakoilla" jotakin... ja sitten seuraava osallistuja hippaa hänet ja lähettää kortin, jossa tämä ns. vakoiltu asia näkyy jollain tapaa. Minä vaklasin onnellisuutta.

Sunny greetings from Costa Rica!

As it's been quite a windy, cloudy and rainy day here... this really brightened it up a bit!

Koska tämä on ollut melko tuulinen, pilvinen ja sateinen päivä, tuli tämä kortti ihan tarpeeseen!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Have a lovely Sunday! I'll spend it in an amusement park and by exploring some flea markets - yay!

Ihanaa sunnuntaita! Itse vietän sitä huvipuistossa sekä kirppareilla pyörimällä, jee!

Halley's Comet in Arizona

Received this super cool card yesterday, straight from the States. Can you spot Halley's Comet on the photo? I find this absolutely stunning.

Sain eilen tämän supersiistin kortin Yhdysvalloista. Bongaatteko Halleyn komeetan kuvasta? Minusta tämä on yksinkertaisesti u-p-e-a.

Tyrion Lannister in my mailbox and other tales

Last week passed by at lightspeed and I can't understand it's already another Monday. My mailbox has been happier than ever, but due to lack of time I haven't had the chance to sit down and sort it out... So just imagine how my desk looks like right now!

Today I have a "night shift" at work, so I'm planning to get some order to this chaos before heading there. As usual, I started with postcards - here are some gems from the past week:

Viime viikko kiiti ohitse salamannopeasti, enkä voi millään uskoa, että taas on maanantai. Postiluukku voi koko viikon hyvin paksusti, mutta ajanpuutteesta johtuen olen joutunut vain kasaamaan saapunutta postia pöydälleni - voitte ehkä kuvitella, miltä se tällä hetkellä näyttää!

Tänään menen myöhäiseen iltavuoroon, joten koitan saada vähän järjestystä tähän kaaokseen ennen sitä. Aloitin normaaliin tapaan lajittelemalla saapuneet postikortit - tässäpä muutama aarre viime viikolta:
