I'm trying to get some work done but the #chihuahua does not care, he needs a cookie.

Still working in the tech sector because.... My therapy is collecting stamps - mainly US, France, Great Britain, and Panama. Also a genealogist who found he was sitting on 170 years of thousands of old photographs of all types - vernacular and posed. Now playing around selectively in coins - US, Canada, United Kingdom, and Panama. My faithful assistant is Romeo, the chihuahua, who works for cookies.
It may not be a coin, but they did do a 50 pence coin version in 2019. It's my favorite medal.

The #chihuahua has told me he is so broke he is forced to eat dog food. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.
I use stickers of the portly pooch to seal my mail envelopes, even send batches of them to my grandkids. Sometimes use them on my Postcrossing postcards and people from other countries write me back to say hi to the paunchy pup. Romeo now thinks he is a media star and demands more cookies. This batch replaces his pic in a kerchief and cowboy hat.

Received today. Only 1,500 issued with the silver £5 coin. I ordered late one night from Royal Mail when it said only 3 left. Early then ext morning they were gone, so I was lucky.

After a 49 year absence from coin collecting I decided to dabble a bit. This is Panama's 1973 20 Balboa coin. It is a monstrous 61mm diameter, weighs 129.6 grams and is of 0.925 fine silver. I underestimated the size and it floored me when I received it.

My latest acquisitions -
France Scott #s C5-C7, MNH.
From my collection, my Canadian Bluenose, Sc. #158. I just love the engraved design of this stamp.

Received yesterday my latest order from my stamp dealer in Kyiv. Among the order was the sheetlet for Christmas 2022 and a related postcard. I pray for the folks there.
