This is my latest received postcard from London (a swap). The Thames actually looks beautiful, doesn't it?

Where's the mail?

You have sent 10 postcards, received 3 and have 4 travelling (sent).

I'm getting kinda bummed. I have 10 official cards that have been received and another 4 on the way and yet I have only received 3 official cards. I am active in swaps and tags though. I have a few more lighthouse ones to send out, still waiting on cards from Italy and Melbourne from flickr swaps (getting more luck and reliable people on the postcrossing forum), waiting for a tea round robin, a nature postcard round robin, and I have to send out my chocolates for a chocolate round robin. One of the people in my chocolate group has already sent hers, IIRC, they are coming from Maylaysia. NOW that is awesome :) Ok, Joy wants to go to the park and I think the sun will do me some good too. Yesterday I got plenty done but today, despite the sunshine, I am feeling bummed and a bit depressed. Not sure why. 'Tis disturbing

And the absolute last one for the day. I forgot to send this one off last week. Shame on me. But, all is well. This one is on its way to Saint Petersburg, Russia. In return I am hoping to get an old B&W postcard of that city.

And I have just 3 international postcard stamps left, reserved for that Nature card swap, so I might actually be taking a small break from postcrossing (Tim will be glad I think) for a bit till I can get more stamps.

In the meantime, I'll just wait for postcards to arrive. As many official ones as I have sent out, I should be getting like 7 or 8. Plus 3 or 4 swapped.

Good night.

Latest received from a swap. The person who sent it said the trees will look like this in about 3 weeks. The website confirms it. Too bad Ontario is so flippin' far away.

Ronnskar Lighthouse

My latest received postcard is from a lighthouse tag/swap :) I liked the stamp a lot too. The writer gave me the history of this particular lighthouse.

... is the second oldest beacon in Finland (1800). The beacon was blown up in the War of Finland (1808-1809) It was repaired in 1814 and in 1822 its height was raised. ...
