Old geyser




















Puffins. Volcanoes. Geysers. Geothermal springs. God was feeling playful when he made Iceland (and the natives improved on this with a cuisine including sour ram's testicles and rotten shark). Most recent postcard comes from Alda in Iceland. Alda, many thanks. They always want to know "Is it from a boy or a girl?" and are fascinated by the fact that I have so many friends, living in exotic places.

Sour ram's testicles? I'd be fucking furious myself.

I live in an exotic place. Would you like a postcard from Exotic Norwich? :D

Annie said...

Absolutely, Rad. Norwich is a Fine City. I know, I lived there for 4 years ;-)

Really? Wow small world!
Which area? Or did you train there?

Annie said...

I did my degree at UEA Rad - we lived mainly around Earlham Road. Fond memories...

Alda said...

Oh, I'm so glad it arrived. Sorry it took so long to send it off to you. :)

My handwriting looks awful put up on the page like that, though. Gah!

Yes, your students must think you're a Very Important Person to have so many friends around the world! lol

Annie said...

Ah, Alda, you've got lovely handwriting. Nothing to be ashamed of!

You sent ANOTHER post card to yourself, Annie? To fool those innocent little kids? Hahaha, I still remember that cynical 5 year old's comment.

I show them the stamps as proof in vain GG. They don't get the idea of stamps yet.
