Postcards for Pencilsqueezer
Our Massive mucker Pencilsqueezer has caring duties that preclude him from taking a proper holiday. While we all swan off to various climes for a week or two of pleasing ourselves, he's stuck here with the painful pleasure of being a jolly good sort, stepping up to the line for his family.
I say we should all send him a jolly cheery postcard or two, whether we've had our hols, are about to have our hols, or have decided not to take our hols.
I'll get the ball rolling. Here's the village where the foxy den is located, in a postcard from the 1960s. The large building, bottom right, is the village pub. I shall be going there on Thursday evening, I'm happy to report:
And here's where the vulpine hordes will be creating havoc involving pints of Guinness, loud music and wet windy walks later this year:
Now let's see your piccies for Pencilsqueezer...

Best wishes from Rapallo
Going later this month - it's not that far from Genoa.
That'll be where they signed the Treaty
in 1922.
And 1920
You're welcome
Indeed: and 1920
Do they have particularly good pens and paper in Rapallo?
Noted
for its pencils, perhaps? Don't tell 'squeezer - he'll be pining for its graphitey (?) delights and we're trying to cheer him up, after all ...
Coast to Coast to Coast
Please forgive the self-promotion, but in August I'll be walking coast to coast across England AND back again, along the route of Hadrian's Wall, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
It'll just be me, my tent and a pack of Elastoplast, walking 170 hilly miles.

Thanks!
Filth On The Beach
We used to have lots of naughty postcards here in Scarborough.
Hullo Pencil!
It's 99 degrees here in Brooklyn and the news reports speak of an imminent power-cut, a terrifying prospect as I'm already sweltering with the AC on full-blast. All the best to you and yours!
Listen, Mr P.
I don't want to post a postcard of a beautiful holiday destination, as I'm thinking that would be a bit like waving a bag of Nobby's Nuts in front of a kid with a peanut allergy.
Instead, here are three good reasons not to go on holiday.
Bowmore after the rain
Staycation for me this year
I regret to report. Too much childcare and not enough leave to cover it prevent the FPO and self having time off together. Some might say that it sounds the perfect arrangement - not me - she's looking over my shoulderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..ow
Just down the road from here...
Caragh Lake, County Kerry
Had our honeymoon here and we're making one of many trips back in September. The building in the photo is our hotel.
Blimey!
