You have had a great week of postcards, Jilly! It was lovely to see them all. Haven watched with me. Her head is on my lap as I am watching, so she is watching, too. She thinks she is a lap dog (at 77 pounds!). HAHA

I always like the blue cat postcards, adorable. I also liked the mint stamps Rob sent, and the fungi stamp from Belarus was so nice as well, and the turtle stamps from Smokey were beautiful. Thanks for the video Jilly! Lovely!

Hi Jilly, what a lovely selection of postcards! Here are a couple of notes that you might find interesting: 01:59 I can't quite make out what the second word on the blue suitcase is, but the postcard is for the Day of (SOMETHING), Saint Petersburg. (the missing word could be CHEMODANOB meaning suitcases, so Day of Suitcases? Could be, but I wouldn't bet money on it as I'm not a gambler. It would sort of make sense, and yes, the colour of the suitcases would be considered very controversial these days in Russia. It is a lovely postcard, though.) 05:06 The stamp on this maxi card is from a set of 4 stamps issued to commemorate the gold rush era. The other three stamps were of a similar design showing various aspects of gold mining in the late 1800s. The maximum card was issued by the ANPC (Australian National Philatelic something beginning with C) before Australia Post started issuing official Post Office maximum cards, so doesn't have the usual 'pre-paid postage valid for delivery worldwide' printing on it. It is therefore interesting that it got through with only a 5 cent stamp on it. 08:25 The words (Juhlan aika) on the Moomin postcard translate as TIME FOR CELEBRATION. And who wouldn't want to go to a Moomin party! Paljon Onnea means CONGRATULATIONS. By the way, Tampere is the city where the Moomin Museum is situated. 10:04 The colourful stamp on the blue cat card is for the Russia-Africa / Second Summit / Economic and Humanitarian Forum. From the buildings in the background, I suspect it was held in Saint Petersburg. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Jilly, great postcards! The unusual painting is one of those painted by Alice Ufa, she paints St Petersburg in an unusual ironic way, those signs on the bridge are normal here as there are lots of bridges and they have signs for boats just like road signs😊
