I always love getting postcards and two weeks ago I got some from a country I hadn’t gotten one from until then: Algeria
A friend of mine travels a lot for his work and though I’ve known him for a few months I only recently mentioned to him that I collected postcards and asked if he’d look for some from Algeria for me. I know, crazy to know someone who’s all over the world all the time and not ask him for postcards… I’m not myself at the moment :p but I’m getting there. So he brought me postcards =) a whole lot actually, but here are the three I picked out to go up on my wardrobe door, two from Algeria, one from Paris where he had a stopover:
What I learned about Algeria while he was there: They are on London time, people there shoot in the air to celebrate weddings… there might have been more but it’s all a few weeks ago already 
The middle postcard shows a library by the way, that is if I deciphered that correctly from the back, my French is basically only guesswork.
Same good friend embarked on a holiday to Ireland right after he got back from Algeria and from there also sent postcards. (The ones above, he brought in person, the ones that follow were sent by mail =) )
I really like the one on the left =) and yes, these two made it to the wardrobe as well.
And the story isn’t over, yet, he brought souvenirs for me. And even though I’ve only known him for a few months he knew what to bring me: =D
behold, it’s yarn! The already mentioned unicorn yarn that I started a hat with and a wool blend tweed-ish yarn that I don’t have any idea yet what to make with. No well… I wouldn’t be a knitter if I didn’t have a million ideas =) I just have to make a decision
He also brought cookies (very yummy) and a Dandelion & Burdock fermented botanical drink that is puzzling me a little… When do you drink something like this? And is it right that it is standing on my alcohol shelf together with the Whiskey and berry liqueur? And what is burdock? I know the German word now but it didn’t help…I think I’ll wait for the right moment… and make him suffer enjoy this with me.
now I have a bit of randomness as well =) I had a bit of an epiphany last week and today regarding bra sizes… I’ve been wearing the wrong size all my life and consequently buying them was an ordeal in the past. Now I finally figured out what I should wear… and I got the two best fitting bras of my life today. They’re also my first “adult” ones I didn’t own a black bra before… well, now I do and also a berry coloured one (which I got in case I won’t find a real red one before new year’s… I figured berry is the closest I get to red for now…) in case you always drag three sizes of the same bra to try out and none of them fit and you return home feeling like you must be some kind of weird alien because there are just no bras to fit you… there is hope go and do some research, get the measuring tape out and then try again
I had a long shopping afternoon, spent a ton of money at the drugstore (for face lotion, lip balm, body oil that I’ll try as a leave-in for my hair, and well, this and that) and also sent out two letters (Belgium and France) which now makes me a sad letterless person =( nothing to reply to left …
