Smiles & Smirks

From Renee Brandow, A picture celebrating the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, not without humour. But then Lizzy is quite inclined to laugh at herself.

Also from Renee, a golden eyed snail crawling over the envelope

*avidly waving the Queen*

Hoping this week for mail art delivery...nothing since July29!

As Charlie Brown says: 

"Maybe now there is something in the mailbox..."

But waving to the Queen,

and keeping "spirits high" with Snoopy:

Our Postal workers are revolting against measures which will give them a meagre increase in salary in exchange for worse working conditions. Kevin our lovely postperson has told me that it will not affect my outgoing post. That is the good news, but the deliveries will be affected. So I will be like Charlie Brown!

By the way, the Queen is a jolly good fellow with a great sense of humour.

I wish she were really running the country instead of that bunch of nincompoops!

More Snoopy in high spirits from Momkat! it is watermelon season, in countries where watermelons grow. Unfortunately, not here... Sigh!

From Deb Dooglas, a new friend and also a shopping addict like me.

From Sabela...happy cats! Keep smiling!

My homage to Queenie will not dwell on her many good qualities, her sense of duty, her restraint on expressing her political ideas, her compassion.

All of which has been obvious during her long reign. I want to celebrate her amazing sense of  humour and her playfulness. So here are two examples

Thank you Katerina, a nice moment of relaxation in a fraught day!

From Willemien Visser, a poetic quote :

from Kate Duddeck some nice ladies, one angel, with leaves for wings. I have grouped them as the smaller ones are transparent.

Somehow Kate’s creations are comforting and liberating at the same time. And good for a day-long smile.

smiles from Michael Goetz in rockford, illinois:

It is nice to be greeted with a joke first thing in the morning! Thanks Katerina

Walmarth has always put its clients well-being first, not its profits.

Since the first time the country was 'locked down' to avoid the spread of The Virus this paragon of a supermarket has endeavoured to reach its clients by means of an efficient and responsive, above all, quick delivery system and continues to do so. Here are photos of the delivering fleet leaving for their destinations.

Due to budget cuts, we have to fire Paul.

I don't think this is fastfood.

Poor Paul, unfortunately this happens now. Thanks Carien.

From C.Mehrl Bennett

Blimey!  That was the very same day I said "Oh MY!"  when I saw the postman slip on some wet leaves just outside our house!

Oh My...time to EAT ART :-)

Mr.Martha  hope the the contents were what your ordered!

Good point, I have not opened it yet. Yes! two sheets of 25 stamps, in elegant Wood Brown.

The Mr was my mistake.

Hope you got a discount?
