Luckily, still had my phone in my pocket (a fact that continues to amaze me, I'm that old!), and Mrs R had not gone too far, so we were able to meet and get her front door key. She had the grace to look sheepish!

Which reminds me, a #PostCardsFromAfar participant once looked up my address on G Streetview before sending me their card, and found me trimming the exact same hedge as today!

I should add, the draw is in the middle of the month, usually around the 16th, so anyone interested would need to sign up by then.

It's managed through Elfster, which is really oriented towards gift exchanges like Secret Santa, and isn't a totally great fit for the postcard exchange (keeps asking me for my "wishes" for example). However, it does the necessary job that would be a lot trickier by hand. So we put up with its glitchiness.

There'll probably be another round of #PostCardsFromAfar for April starting in a few days. I'll try to remember to post a link. Feel free to ping if you'd like to know more!

(You get to send one postcard of your photography/art to a randomly selected person, and someone else sends one to you. It's all good except managed through Elfster which is a bit fragile, though maybe getting better. In the UK international postcards are £2.80 which isn't too bad. Also companies will print/post for you.)
