Didn’t get around to it yesterday (when the card came) but thanks, **MaleInBlack** for the card! Nothing like trivia info on a card to get my geekly juices flowin’!

Cards are written and will be posted later today/tomorrow!

I’ll be out of town for the next two weeks, so I won’t be able to confirm any received cards until later… but I’m already looking forward to finding them when I get home 🙂

**Penultima Thule** dropped me a card from Sydney, with a shot of the harbor (and the hotel I used to stay at when in town for business).!

Hmm - Aussie - might be a round 1 late arrival.

Having returned home, I can happily confirm the reception of cards by **Skara Brae** , **labtrash** and **melodyharmonius** herself (two, even - danke schön!).

Thanks for posting - don’t forget to tell us from _ **who** _! (I’m deducing this was from **maleinblack**?)

Nope - that’s a Round 2 sender - they weren’t part of round 1 - so hurray for the Aussie post service!

Well, you said you hadn’t received any yet - figured better mail another!
