A pair of cheery
Postcrossing arrivals in recent days have featured the always-winning combination of cats and books. First up (above) is this wonderful Rudi Hurzlmeier illustration of two cats reading. It was sent by Birgit in the Netherlands, who writes:
"When I have a book & a cat I'm quite good at staying in a room for quite a while — but I must confess that eventually I do feel the need to go out a bit, & I'm happy out lockdown is over now." I agree, though the temperature is 107° F here in Arizona today, so I don't have a tremendous longing to spend much time outside.
The second postcard is from Alexandra, who live in
Chartres, France. The postcard showcases a bookstore in Toronto, Canada, called
Acadia Art and Rare Books. The black cat on the postcard is Frodo, Acadia's bookstore cat. I think Frodo looks a
lot like our Mr. Bill (below), who is doing better this evening after a harrowing trip to the veterinarian this morning.
