7 years ago I wrote a postcard every day for a month. I sent them to friends and family, but also to complete strangers who wanted to get something colourful in the mail from someone they don’t really know. Today I remembered how happy this made me, and I would love to do it again next month!

So, if you’d like to get a postcard from me in May, please send me a message with your name and address! Who doesn’t like a little surprise in the mail?

Wow, I already have 10 people on my list - and that's only from Mastodon, not including real life friends and family yet!

Luckily everyone sounds awesome so far: vaccinated believers in science, LGTBQ+ friendly cat lovers, and almost-vegan human rights defending (board) gamers. That's my kind of people!

It’s 1 May and the first card of my daily postcard project this month is ready to go. If you’ve messaged me your address, this might land in your mailbox shorty!

I still have a couple of spots left, so if you’d like to get a postcard from me, just let me know.

Day 8 - I forgot to take a photo of today’s #DailyPostcard! It was a cute pink card with flowers and some encouraging words. Really annoyed with myself that there’s no record of this card now.

Today’s #DailyPostcard always made me smile when I looked at it, I almost wanted to keep it for myself. But sharing is caring, so it’s on a journey across the world now.

Day 10 - This cat card goes to a cat lady. I added 2 extra cat stickers because she shares her home with 4 feline friends.

Day 13 - The courier brought Zelda Tears of the Kingdome today, which means I didn’t have much time to think about my #DailyPostcard today. So I went down the easy track and just wrote to my dad. 😄

Day 17 - I’ve run out of bicycle related cards, so the recipient of this card has to dance it off, rather than bike it off. 😃

Day 19 - Nearly forgot to write a #DailyPostcard today. It’s my last day of leave and I tried to pack in as much as possible, I just remembered to write a card on my way to bed. I think it’s a fitting image for the end of my mini holidays.

@blauerpunto I have a big poster of this!

@rowangayle Awesome! I picked it for this person because I was inspired by this: https://calckey.social/notes/9ehw119ib2. Can’t stop thinking “Be a dandelion” since I first saw it.

@blauerpunto is that Frida Kahlo

@Br3nda It didn’t say on the back of the card. There’s certainly a resemblance, but I don’t think there are a lot of happy pictures of her around.

@blauerpunto took grandkids to see Mario and Luigi cartoon flick. I was prepared to snore off but laughed too much. Script writers did super job.
