NIXIE time...back to Greece, even with the correct address,

for the US Postal ROBOT to "read" :-(

for Heleen: The computer obviously read your zipcode from the stamp, and even printed it in code on the envelope itself. I wonder what happens at a 2nd attempt. Will be a georgious enveloppe enveloppe....!

Returning mail to the sender also happens in Japan. Ryosuke's Braincell took a little longer because it was returned to him for no obvious reason. Eventually with this little addition it arrived in Breda.....

On this sent envelope the addition consists of a cancelation stamp / postmark added by Dutch Post to the faux postage stamp (all other stamps are mine).
However... they did deliver it to my own address instead of the addressee's address in Breda!
I don't understand why...

Fortunately Dutch Post didn't cancel the real stamps, so I'll have an other try.

the torn edge was taped up, and the report got TWO official signatures!

On Instagram I am following @ho.owl, and to my happy surprise I was honoured with a ginger ho.owlet when I posted my drawing of my favourite breakfast! However it took more time than expected, for the package (with the Owlet) to arrive from Spain to the Netherlands. But thanks to this personally stamped and handwritten Postal Addition we know what has been causing the delay!

See @ho.owl on Instagram and www.hoowlstory.com on the internet to learn more about this (to me still mysterious) little Owl.

(the sad thing is that they made the cow stamp almost invisible...)

A great postal and customal addition to the matchbox art package I sent to Tomoe. Picture thanks to Tomoe.

You can see a Japanese customers sticker (they opened it, and then the postal workers had to close / repack it). And if you look close, you can see red stamped letters under the sticker: 'frankering gecontroleerd' = postage checked. So at least three Real Humans have helped this mail art on it's travel (and we helped them to keep their jobs): a Dutch postal worker, a Japanese custom person and a Japanese postal worker!
