Blog # 1665 --- Day 1317 ( That's One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventeen Days ) Since the Start of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Here we go again.
Here's a few cards that have come my way over the last while. First up is a card from Greece. It's a beachside view of Makris Gialos, located on the southeast coast of Crete. The area has a population of around 4,200. The main industries are tourism, greenhouse farming and harvesting of olive trees.
Alena used a 2024 stamp, one of five in a set featuring ancient Greek Writers.
This next card is from Singapore. It shows futuristic National Symbols of Singapore as generated by Artificial Intelligence.
Jean Pierre used a 2019 Joint Issue stamp with Israel. It was a 2 stamp set.
Time now for my last card for today. It's a picture of an actress and her signature is at the bottom. But for the life of me I don't recognize her and I can't read her signature. I know that sounds kind of dumb but it is what it is.
So anyone who knows who she is , feel free to enlighten me with a comment. Here she is .
Eylem used a wonderful assortment of stamps sending this to me. The left stamp was issued in 2025, 1 of 2 celebrating the European Para Youth Games in Istanbul. The 2 stamps on the right are from 2020 and were issued as a Joint Issue with Russia. They celebrated Turkish Mosques. The stamp at lower right , from 2025, is from a set of 2 honouring Nasreddin Hodja, a witty and wise folk hero and trickster.
So ends another blog update. Thanks to Alena, Jean Pierre and Eylem for their cards . Don't forget , if you know the lady on the postcard, be sure to let me know.
Take care , see you again soon.

A reverse Google Image search says it is the British Actress Vivian Leigh. The signature doesn't really look like that, but the picture does look like her.
