The nice Dutch chap I was working with has tattoos - I only saw them after a few days of working with him when he removed his overalls.
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of tattoos even though they appear to have gone mainstream.
However, I was taken aback at these. Theses convey powerful messages with background to them that I discovered when I talked to him about them.
It's interesting meeting people and discovering things about them.
He has served with the Royal Netherlands Army in Afghanistan.
For this photo, I increased the exposure on the sign and I also increased the saturation over the sky so the colors would pop.
This week is Postcard Week for me. Please see the adjacent image for the message side of the card.
When my mother passed away in 2016, I came across a large number of postcards dating back to the 1940s. My family had lived in the same Victorian house since 1912 and hence there were many discoveries to be made. Reading the postcards, the social media messages of the day, has proven interesting, not to mention nostalgic, and I put out a display at my home where family gathered after Mum's cremation. Needless to say, elderly relatives could not recall where they went on holiday in 1951! It was something to lighten the mood of the day.
This one was from my aunt & uncle to my grandmother. I remember the debacle with the car, a Humber Hawk of 1960 vintage. My parents and I were on holiday with my uncle, aunt and my cousins. My father, being a motor mechanic, spent two days of his week's holiday repairing the Humber gearbox, and with just a few tools he had to hand! Not best pleased as I recall... Anyway, I spent two days on this beach with my cousins which was really good. This picture was taken whilst on the same holiday www.flickr.com/photos/trevordurrittlrps/46512458785/in/da...
I hope that you will enjoy these images for what they are - part of the UK's social history.
I made this little guy last night - was cutting out felt within minutes of the postie delivering the handbag feet for the head! Thanks Jodie!

I started a new project, project Message in a Bottle. I am creating little pieces of art, put them in a bottle, close them off with cotton fabric, wax and hemp string, and then release them into the river Rhine, hoping that someone will find them. More about the project can be found here:

Is it really just a natural pattern made by woodworm...or a hidden message we are unable to translate....? I read a book about Ancient Egypt and the signs on papyrus seem to be similar to me ;-D
Okay, my message is clear - Have a nice day!!! ;-)
Young people from Tokelau, a small island in the South Pacific Ocean, send their messages to negotiators at the COP19 climate talks in Warsaw, Poland.
I'm covering a co-workers desk this week while she's on holidays. And that means I'm extra slow getting the messages off her phone. Sorry 'bout that Tess!

Old Post Card of U.S. Navy ship Monitor Florida.
Message is "What is the matter down there have you fogottin that I am up here, If you have I will have to go to work to make ends meet pretty soon" Ina
The USS Florida (BM-9) was an Arkansas-class monitor in the United States Navy.
Florida was launched November 30, 1901 by Lewis Nixon, and Arthur Leopold Busch, a marine engineer who worked at the Crescent Shipyard, Elizabethport, New Jersey; sponsored by Miss S. Wood; and commissioned June 18, 1903, with Commander John Charles Fremont in command.
Serving with the Coast Squadron, Florida trained midshipmen on summer cruises, and operated along the east coast and in the Caribbean waters. She participated in the Presidential Naval Review in Oyster Bay, Long Island, held by Theodore Roosevelt on September 3, 1906, and four days later reported to the Naval Academy for regular service as a practice ship. She was placed in reserve September 11, 1906, but returned to full commission between June 7 and August 30, 1907, for a midshipman cruise, and between May 21 and June 19, 1908 for participation in ordnance experiments. These included testing the then-new superfire concept where turrets were mounted in line with one turret elevated to fire over the other.
On July 1, 1908, Florida was renamed USS Tallahassee to free the state name for assignment to a battleship. On August 1, 1910, she was placed in commission in reserve and began a regular schedule of ordnance experimentation and occasional duty in the Panama Canal Zone and Norfolk area as a submarine tender. During World War I she served as submarine tender in the Canal Zone, the Virgin Islands, and Bermuda areas and on September 30, 1919, entered Charleston Navy Yard where she was decommissioned on December 3, 1919. Tallahassee was assigned to the 6th Naval District as a reserve training ship from February 19, 1920, serving in commissioned status from September 3, 1920 to March 24, 1922.
Tallahassee was redesignated as IX-16 on July 20, 1921, and decommissioned for the final time on March 24, 1922. She was sold on July 25, 1922, to Ammunition Products Corporation, of Washington, DC.

I did a double take on the sidewalk when I noticed that (someone sent me a message in stone) somehow newsprint became part of this concrete slab - I don't know how. Who's behind the message?
On Monday, April 12, 2021, the City of Laredo and Webb County reunited at City Hall Council Chambers to proclaim the month of April as National Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Laredo, Texas. Hosted by the Laredo Animal Care Services Department and led by District 4 Council Member, Alberto Torres, Jr., this proclamation brought together representatives of the Laredo-Webb County Animal Cruelty Task Force. The message throughout the event focused on creating awareness of the crime that is committed by someone that abuses or neglects any animal, including house pets and livestock.
Likewise, elected officials and representatives of the various law enforcement agencies concurred that all citizens must be responsible for the well-being of dogs, cats, and other animals under their care. Furthermore, it is of the utmost importance to report any witnessed cruelty or abuse against animals, whichever the circumstances, as these actions are considered a crime, and the law will be enforced. As proclaimed, the City of Laredo believes it is necessary to advocate for the prevention of cruel treatment of innocent animals.
With Father's day coming to my mind I realise I achieved one year of blogging. (Remember ... the apple card?) I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been supporting. It is always a pleasure to read your messages!
To every father in town (and village): Happy Father's Day!
