BLOG # 1577 - Day 1000 of the Pandemic and Day 285 of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

                                                                GLORY TO UKRAINE  

Hey , I'm back. It's been a little over three weeks, so well time to get back at it. Of course cards continued to arrive, so I have a pile on my deck 2-3 inches high. Where to begin  ??  From the top I guess, and these will be among the older of the pile. 

First up is an airline/aircraft card from Singapore. It's an A380 in Singapore Airlines livery, shown at Singapore Changi in Feb of 2006. This aircraft is 17.1 years old, it was delivered in Oct of 2005. It has seen service with Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa and Etihad. It has been stored since 2014 and went on display at Paris LBG in 2017. 

 

Jean Pierre used a Joint Issue stamp with Belgium from 2005. It is 1 of 4 in a set entitled Shops, however this stamp shows the Museum of Instruments in Brussels. 

 

Today's second card arrived from Senec, Slovakia. It's a photo of a couple and their bike, taken by Martin Fridner.  As someone who lives in the west and Stampede land, that's nice cowboy boots on the lady.  

This card was the result of a swap with Daniela who's a Postcrosser over that way.  She used 2 stamps on her card. The left stamp was issued in 2015, 1 of 2 showing Steam Locomotives. The right stamp, again a Steam Locomotive was issued in 2016.

Here's another airline/aircraft card. It shows a Sata Airbus A320. The airline is a Portuguese airline based in Ponta Degada in the Azores. Sata also operates A320s and a A330.

Isa sent this card . She used 1 of the Flower definitives and from 2003, 1of 2 in a Greetings set. 

That's all for this time folks. It's good to be back even if this time of year is a busy time. Thanks for todays cards go to Isa, Daniela ( Dee Dee ) and Jean Pierre. 

Tune in for more again soon.
