An Admin Day by jamibann

An Admin Day

Yesterday was an admin day. Typing the minutes of the first Golf Club Committee Meeting of the year, and sending out the info about the Opening Season Supper. Writing various letters and sending off documents. Sorting through photos. And supposedly planning our 2025 New Year break with both kids and partners ... but I never got very far with that! Boy, you can lose a day that way!

As I was sticking stamps on the correspondence I noticed that I had a mix of old and new. We've been so used to seeing our dearly departed Queen gracing the UK postage stamp, that it still feels odd to see Charles there.
yes! it does seem strange - also there won't be a great timeline of changing over the years as his reign will be much shorter

Yes not half as attractive 😂 nice one

Great photo and a busy day. I get what you mean about the stamps. And perhaps because he's been 'off screen' these last few weeks it takes a bit of getting used to! That and the fact that we don't actually post nearly as many letters these days!

Great shot, and a useful sort of day. Typing up the minutes always takes longer than you think it will!

I love the colourful set up of your busy day, time sure passes when one has and office day ;-)

Wonderful

Nice juxtaposition

This is the first stamp I have seen with King Charles on it.

Hard to get used to Charles on stamps, but he faithfully waited his turn.

Lovely capture

Wow, how weird is that! Thanks for sharing.

A lovely composition. I was fond of Queen Elizabeth and I still refer to Prince Charles before I correct myself.
You seem to be super organized and having an admin day is so smart!

Excellent DOF.

Great to see! It’s wonderful to be a bust bee…

Change is never easy and a change of something that occured over 50 years ago... Lovely still life.

A lovely desk shot. Such large stamps now with the bar codes on there…..take a good bit of space up on an envelope. I love to see a stamped letter ready for the post. There is something quite satisfying about sticking a stamp on. I like King Charles head on there but it does take a bit of getting used to.

Yes so strange, still can’t think of him as king!!
March 15th, 2024  
Great image & it’s still odd to think of King instead of Queen!
March 15th, 2024  
yes it does take some getting used to with Charlie boy on the throne , one wonders how long he will reign , but long may he do so
March 15th, 2024  
Wow, this is my first look at a stamp with the king on it. For some reason I thought they alternated the direction of sight with each monarch but I've researched and all British monarchs face to the left on stamps but alternate on coins.

We haven't seen the King on anything over here yet. I am sure it won't be long
March 16th, 2024  
Cool.
March 16th, 2024  
Great photo and fun info too.
March 16th, 2024  
It actually looks a bit strange, but over time we will get used to it.
March 16th, 2024  
Love the set and the sentiment
March 16th, 2024  
Great combo of old and new! I feel the same way when they update the artwork on our dollar bills. It's weird at first.
March 16th, 2024  
How fascinating to see your stamps! I've not seem one with a break-away slot like yours!
March 16th, 2024  
It's amazing how much time we Americans spend talking about your Royals.
March 17th, 2024  
Strong composition and great storytelling shot.
March 18th, 2024  
@kjarn I learned that too! I was surprised to see both facing left on stamps, and checked it out!
