Greetings from the USA this week where we are staying with my daughter, her husband and three dogs. Yesterday was a bit traumatic as Gem, her oldest dog, had to be put to sleep after a remarkable 15 and a half years. Gem was the last of the original "Gang of Four."
The lady vet from the Lap of Love, a veterinary hospice was a true professional. However I do not have a stamp that is appropriate for her.
Nevertheless I was surprised to find how many stamps meet Viridian's 'trade/professions' theme.
 |
| Algeria - Job Mechanics; 18 April 1965 |
 |
| Hungary - Welder series 1955 |
 |
| Lebanon - Potters work |
 |
| Iceland - Nurse and patient |
This stamp was issued on 19 June 1970 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Icelandic Nurses Association.
My last stamp this week is from Tunisia.
 |
| Tunisia - Nass-work - Handicrafts; 15 August 1979 |
I was pleased to be able to include my one and only stamp from Algeria as the theme forced me to identify what it represented.
I wonder whether anyone will have a stamp of a philatelist this week. To find out you will have to check the links at Sunday-Stamps-193.
