Postcrossing #7

I guess I abandoned my picture challenge. Sorry about that.

After having sent 7 postcards in the last couple of weeks, there was finally one waiting for me in my mailbox today.
It came from Magdeburg (middle eastern Germany), traveled 353 km (219 miles) and took 2 days to get to me.

Postcards for strangers

Last week (actually just before I found out I was broke) I decided to write some more postcrossing cards:

These are numbers 5-9.
To be honest, the first four I sent were all the card in the middle on the right. It's a very old card of the cafe my grandparents used to run.

And see the one of the beautiful cat eye? I wrote it all in Dutch!

I'm all happy and proud at the moment. As if I had accomplished something. But then I guess making people happy is something. And I'm always happy when I get a postcrossing card.

I'm sorry, I couldn't find a bigger picture. This is Frau Tenten, my grade school teacher (1990-1994). She was a wonderful very gentle teacher who was (almost) always nice to everyone. Which was just what an extremely shy, socially inept Lisbeth needed.
When I was in her class she had dark hair but I haven't seen her for 18 years. In this picture she looks very much like her mother who ran a tiny little childrens' book store.

This picture doesn't make me cry per se but it makes me extremely sad.
It's my ex and I when we were still very happy.

I'm sorry, I've been thinking hard about this one. Thruth is, it's very hard to inspire me.
As soon as anything does, I'll update this but right now there will be no picture.

I went into town and was planning to get some more hair dye and some postcards for postcrossing but at the bank I found out I that there is no money in my account. None. Nada. Zip.
It could be worse, I get paid some time this week yet and still have food in the freezer and had enough cash left over to get cat food. But starting tomorrow, my smoking- and drinking habits are not going to like it.
I've been planning to switch banks for ages and was always to lazy. But I really need to go to one that give me the option of online banking so I can check my balance more regularly without having to ride halfway across town.
Well, at least this time this happened when the rent was already paid, not like in October!
