Blog # 1662 --- Day 1284 ( That's One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty Four Days ) Since the Start of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Hello once again. It's September 1st , Labour Day here in Canada.
Labour Day is an annual day of celebration of the labour movement and its achievements. It has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.
It is a statutory Holiday in Canada providing most workers with a day off with regular pay. So the Post office is closed and that means no mail today.
Now on to postcards.
First card today is from Telc, Czech Republic. The town has approximately 5,100 inhabitants.It is well known for its historic town centre which is protected and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.Telc is said to date from 1099, but the first written mention is from 1335.
Meelis' card is a partial aerial view .
Lots of stamps on this card. Top left - issued in 2004 , 1 of 2 Trees stamps. Middle stamp - from 1995, a rock formation from the Beauty of Our Homeland set. Right stamp - issued in 2023 to mark the 250th Anniversary of the Birth of Czech linguist and poet Josef Jungmann. The 2 stamps on the bottom are Butterfly definitives from 2021 and 2023.
Just a short update today. I'm off to a Labour Day BBQ .
Thank you Meelis for your card today.
