Got my first postcard this morning - Thanks, **Algher!** Although, y’know, I hope I had the shades drawn last night since you can use that telescope to see me and all that. 😃 ---

Postcards consigned per Australia post today, bearing in mind the specific content requirements for one doper. Taking that to heart I looked for cards relating to nightclubs along the Kings Cross strip. I thought there’d be a limit to how much sex, drugs and violence you could fit on a postcard … but I was wrong. 😛 ---

Our township picnic was yesterday at an amusement park, so I gave up on looking for the other postcards in my mid-painted disastrous home and just bought new ones. They went out today! ---

> [@Algher](#): > > 3 Sent FAST, but I might dig through my addresses and send a few more just because I found some old stamps. Got one from Algher today (he had me in round 1 too) - thanks again ! Planning on sending mine tomorrow - was in Charleston yesterday & picked up some more. All three addressed - just need to get some postage on them. ---

I get this sneaking suspicion that Algher sent out cards to everyone he’s had before - that’s over 6 postcards I count form Algher - and I only sent him 3 names . . . ---

It was very sweet - but I got a heart attack when labtrash pointed out that you had their name in round one - after all my efforts to make sure no one was repeated! LOL! ---
