Week Forty

This week's postcard serves as a subtle reference to the fact that people on the internet like cats. I don't think they've enjoyed this much popularity over the years and yet they don't even realise they should be making the most of it.

There are 12 weeks left and the score is 38-2. The views are hovering around 4,500 so another 500 will get me to my ludicrously set target of 5,000. I've been thinking about the big reveal and I've decided I will send a postcard, wrapped in a big box, for him to open on Boxing Day to save ruining his Christmas.

It also looks like I'll be going to stay with him at the end of October which came about through an opportunity to watch my football team playing football. While there I will snoop around and make sure he received all of the postcards, assuming he's kept them all. In the meantime feel free to send a few contributions, particularly if they include your own artwork as I can give you a bit of a plug.

Week Thirty Nine

After last week's surfing bear I found this week's surfing person postcard and couldn't resist making some mundane comparison between the two. I like to think that everyone would think in this way but that is most likely a diversionary tactic to stop myself realising how peculiar I am.

My brother has just had nearly a month off work on holiday (thank you, Facebook - no point for him) and is returning back this weekend. If I took a month off he'd miss four postcards so, being a paramedic, I hate to think how many patients he's going to have piled up when he gets back.

The score is a very healthy 37-2 and, thanks to a mention from @MooseAllain this week, we've had nearly 4,500 views. It looks like Christmas is very much coming early for me this year, massive thanks to everyone who's here, shared and contributed.

Week Thirty Eight

I had to send @Mrs_Lyvit to the shop for this week's entry as I'm running a little short of postcards so all of the credit for this week goes to her. I'm sure I'll find an appropriate way to thank her.

I'm surprised we still have so many loyal followers considering the one-sided nature of this competition. I can only hope this means you're all on my side as we watch the New Zealand All Blacks play a team of Premier League referees with no whistles in the world of extreme postcarding. If that analogy doesn't work for you then maybe this is Muhammed Ali against an ignorant fern plant. 

36-2 is the score. I don't expect to see him for the rest of the year as he's only been down once that I'm aware of and his potential journey down last July seems to have been forgotten. His posts to Facebook are a gentle reminder that he's still alive so at least that rules out the possibility of him walking into a crocodile enclosure with a burger and chips in his hand.

Here's a bear surfing to celebrate my impending colossal landslide almost white-wash victory.

Week Thirty Seven

Having moved house and finally getting the new place straight all of my attention is now back on sending my brother postcards. This week's is from @TinkSaid who supplied enough postcards for us to do another year, although his lack of response suggests it would be unwise to do so.

I set myself another mini-target and that was to get 5,000 views. We're up to a very satisfying 4,000 so far and I'm looking forward to his guaranteed response once he finds out around Christmas-ish that he's being followed by people all over the world.

Ultimately the all important score stands at 35-2 and it would take either a TARDIS or Delorean for him to win now. Insert evil laugh in here.

Week Thirty Six

So this is me, up to date. The score is 34-2 and he will continue to receive 'weird postcards' for the next sixteen weeks.

If you have any spare then why not donate them to this worthy cause?

Week Thirty Five

I have had no internet access for a week or two so this postcard went a little late. This is all due to a house move that I am currently recovering from.

I have heard from my brother but only to confirm that he wants two Dukes of Hazzard boxsets from me so no point there. 33-2 and another post to follow immediately.
