^ Yep, I've been putting them in a bowl of water. Then drying them. But I haven't put them in an album yet because I don't have the room. They're just in my stamp tin box.

Most of them are Australian stamps with a few European ones thrown in.

I can tell you, as an old stamp collecter, you will need more albums and those pages will also fill before you know it.

Very little is more educating and fun than the study of each stamp and learning the WHYs and WHEREFOREs and HOWs it was made.
I hope your fun continues.

Today, I finally got 4 Jantzen 5mH coils for my buddy's speaker project. He's doing the sawing, screwing, gluing and paying, I'm guiding him through the brainwork.
He will end up with a pair of Pro audio speakers with one fifteen and horn for each side, two-way monitors that will change his music listening world forever.
He's only ever owned crap, but that's about to change.

Feels good to get this close to completing a project, even if it's not mine.

A Spider-Man book for Kayleigh. The big box it came in was kind of unnecessary.

Second test shirt arrived today, in effort to create a uniform for the office. It may be the one. Fits okay. Will see if it fares well in the laundry tomorrow. If so, then will order more.

Nothing because it's the weekend. On Monday if I get a parcel I won't be home for it and will have to wait all day until about 7pm, which is when I get home. I have a lot of stuff coming but because of Covid and the floods over east, there are delays.

A red stamp album. I would have preferred blue or black but there was nowhere to select another colour. I'm impressed with the black pages, though.

Junk mail. I didn't even look at it, just threw it straight into the recycling bin.

A big envelope full of stamps. The person who sent them was very generous. There's a lot there.

I also got a credit card statement.

Stamps again! Some from Berlin, Germany. The pack they came in looks like it will be very hard to open.

Some from Queensland which I nearly dumped all over the floor when I cut the package open with scissors.

I don't think I need to buy any stamps for a while.  :GA:

I also got the regular RAC magazine, which is about cars and driving and places to go within Western Australia, etc. I get it because I'm a member of RAC Roadside Assistance.

I got even more stamps on Friday, Aussie ones.

There was a letter to the Householder so I gave it to Kayleigh to open. She did and as soon as she saw a picture of Jesus, she threw it on the floor. Kayleigh is not religious.
