I've ordered 10 stamps from the German postal service Deutsche Post.
They sent them in a parcel the size of a cereal box.
Do they know paper can be sent by a thing called mail?

If only it wasn't dark, cloudy and raining outside right now...

Anyway, enjoy the world's worst photo of an E-3A Sentry. #avgeek
Flightradar24 Screenshot of a NATO Boeing E-3A Sentry flying over Neuss, Germany. Absolutely terrible photo of the aircraft where you can barely recognize the lights.

Deutsche Post: Raises postage on international postcards from 0.95€ to 1.25€.
Also Deutsche Post: Doesn't make any stamps for 1.25€.

This is what postage on my cards to the US looks like now, taking up a third of the entire postcard. 🤦‍♂️
Multiple stamps on the back of a postcard: 1x 100ct, 2x 10ct, 1x 5ct plus a Priority/Airmail sticker.
