It's Saturday, and, even though I woke up earlier than usual, I had a smile on my face. No groaning, no lingering on the bed. Just because. It's the weekend after all :)
No errands done today yet as my husband is fixing the car -- something with the motor-starter he said. I don't know. So while I wait for him to get the car fixed, I decided to do a bit of blogging while I'm doing the laundry =)
Today's postcard comes from the beautiful town of Frohnleiten in Austria, where the sender, Anneliese, lives.

| Frohnleiten, the Pearl of the Mur valley, a beautiful Austrian city with a population of just over 6,000. |
Anneliese said Frohnleiten is a small but beautiful city with amazing landscapes, and very popular for its beautiful flowers come summertime. People flock to this small town just to be awed by the spectacular blooms and other plants found there.
The postcard features the facade of the old buildings in the beautifully-designed main square and sits at the edge of the Mur river bank and creating a stunning silhouette. The best view can be seen from the opposite side -- in the same place where the photographer was. Probably the fastest way to cross the river is to swim to other side -- oh my, that's one exercise that could easily land on my top fat burners list. Something I'm willing to try, if only I am good in swimming. But I'm just kidding you know. There are probably boats to ferry people to the other side, or, a bridge connecting these two.
And here are the stamps used: are two definitives under the fauna category: frog which is a part of the two-sets issued in February 2008, and an otter which is part of the two-set issued in January 2010. Both stamps are self-adhesive.
Thanks, Anneliese.
Happy weekend Z! =)
Thanks, Mumsified! And you and your boys, too :)
