Rabbit, Lion, Human being, Birds.
Thank you very much, Jimmy COnnors!

Lovely Birds and a nice word play by Jimmy Connors. 'Gans' (in both German and Dutch) means 'Goose'. So it is clear the animals above are HooliGans!



Inside the decorated envelope some goodies arrived, like this matchbox named 'Vögel und Fische', which means 'Birds and Fish':



And look at this Mail Pigeon on a mail certificate (of which I have to find out how it works to send mail - and in what locations, a mystery since the last Dutch post offices has disappeared in 2010) (I think I'll keep this UPU paper as it is, because it is beautiful!



Thank you very much, vielen Dank, Jimmy!

This Human being is said to be a vega sausage (?) but maybe it also is a weird collage?

Created and sent by Jimmy Connors from Germany.



THank you very much, herzlichen Dank, Jimmy!

This colourful Dog/Fox, and much more animals, has been sent by Jimmy Connors from Berlin to the Netherlands.
Sending mail in return seems to be a little harder, but we'll re-try!




A portable postcard!



Note the Birds on the stamp: the Toucan's name in German is a funny one: Pfefferfresser (literally: pepper eater).


And I learned that Frogs can be mammals, too.



Thank you very much, vielen Dank, Jimmy!

A - usually enormous but this time mailable - animal arrived in my tiny P.O.Box!

He/she has a Bauhaus nose:



A 'sports and social security' spine:



A friendly face and strong legs to carry the enormous body:



Did I see it right? Yes, indeed he or she is...




... An Elephant!
All the way from Germany, thanks to Jimmy Connors.



Thank you very much, herzlichen Dank, Jimmy Connors!

Collage of a weird looking/watching Human being, created by Jimmy Connors from Germany.



On the back side stamps showing sporty people. Jimmy added kind words about the Dutch women's soccer team who has won the European Championship recently, and I think it great he has added a German women's soccer stamp to the text also.
And as a mail lover I of course like the handwritten addition on bottom (about the space, intentionally left blank) and the fact that the Post couldn't resist adding some orange and dotty letters to it.



Thank you very much, vielen Dank, Jimmy!

An new collage, a kind of Human being, by Jimmy "F." Connors from Germany.

On the back side of the card there are traces that someone (postman? mail monster?) must have eaten the stamp from top left...



Thank you very much, Jimmy! Herzlichen Dank, F.!

As a child I was afraid of monkeys and clowns. So the front side of this envelope, created and sent by F. 'Jimmy Connors' Schneider, is not the one I would choose immediately. Fortunately the monkeys are mathematic heroes (they wrote the name of their favourite mathematician behind them), and the other side of the re-used envelope shows awesome stamps.



In the same week an other envelope from F. 'Jimmy Connors' Schneider arrived. Showing a friendly woman, a man who I don't trust, and look what the lady is holding in her hand: a fine-toothed (lice) comb, or a letter?



Thank you very much, Jimmy, vielen Dank, F.!
