wow, how unusual! By the way thank you for hosting this meme Gemma, I'm having great fun keeping my eyes open for anything mail-related when I'm out and about. Have a great weekend!
I LOVE that mailbox!
That is so cool, Gemma. I love the koala. How does the mail stay dry...or perhaps that's not a problem in Melbourne.
That's a good idea Gemma! The problem is our mailboxes are always an opening in the frontdoor.
BTW the word mail in originally a viking word. It is derived from the Norwegian word "mål" which means "speech,language".
As soon as the Vikings started to talk, the British knew they had to pay. They called it "black mail". Mail is still connected with message. There are a lot of Norwegian words in the English language.
So now I have at least done something with mail.
Funny mailbox.
It is so cute and it is sitting just comfortably!
How amusing! Little koala looks rather surprised but I bet he brings a smile to the postman's face.
Meet the koala disguised as a box
for letters and parcels—but not for sox!
Pretty cool meme! I will have to remember so that I can join you~!
