Sorry it's late, I took this on the day then got distracted
Russia of course
South Africa
Thailand
These are a nice set!
those are both beautiful!
Indeed good swappings! I love the brutalist set on the middle of the first page even though I prefer my actual architecture just a bit older

1998 USA
I rather like this Alfred Hitchcock stamp with its little cut-out of his profile. It was in a bunch of USA stamps sent to me by my stamp-chum @yap617.bsky.social after I sent her some British stamps. It's quite exciting getting intercontinental post!
Ah no what I have is the 1978 anniversary of the coronation. So much gubbins. I could post you a remarkable amount of that if you decided to collect it!
Which ones? I have tonnes of this and Charles and Di's wedding that I found at the bottom of the box of doom from the auction. I will happily send you them if I have them.
Poland, from the pack of 500 stamps I posted about yesterday. Most of these are going to need soaking apart as bloody Czechoslovakian stamps are a damn nightmare and have welded to everything!
I am not allowed the internet as I'm a boomer! How everyone thinks I randomly post about my boobs.
how'd they get them packaged so neatly - I can't comprehend that there are 500 stamps in this slim volume
I've bought a few themed or country multipacks from traders before but this one is so pleasingly neat
Found this in the box of gubbins I was handed after the LPS auction. 500 stamps in a suspiciously thin packet bought for $7 from the Smithsonian. It feels almost a shame to open it. I expect there to be a wild stamp-splosion when I do like a confetti canon.
Have New Zealand with bonus old money versions of some of them. And yes I know one looks like chilies rather than a flower.
Maldives. I've given up on L for now
There has been lots of 'trying not to freeze, starve or get eaten by the wild life'. I was pootling along to a shelter I could see then heard *hurrng!* Shit! A moose! Run! I got absolutely roflstomped breaking a rib. And when I stood up to try and get away it did it again. Moose stamp indeed.

I wanted to put up a moose stamp but I don't have the 1953 Canadian one. This is a caribou which is as close as I can be for now. This week I have been playing The Long Dark, an excellent survival game set in a frozen Canadian wilderness. Cont...
Ah yes. Low light at the gig confused me!
Oh bums that's the same as yours! I'm at a gig and took the photo earlier!
Kenya
Lovely stuff!
I made good use of the partially sorted* pile of Japanese stamps that I bought last year
*They honestly broke me and I hardly engaged with anything stamp related for about a month
I can't work out how much self awareness she has. Is there a bit at the back of her brain going 'fuck me this is bullshit' all the time
I'll have to look up US prices, they're bad enough here that I cheered when our old Yaris got through it's MOT yesterday
Like Yolanda I have gone for an iris, as they're my favourite flower
The flowers are kinda incidental on this Hungarian stamp. I thought you might all enjoy a stamp on a stamp ON A STAMP. Triple stamp celebrating an international stamp exhibition in Poland.
Nice work!
