Thats a blow. I have 2 books of stamps but now rarely send a letter.
I wonder if the PO will refund me
I think I read that you can swap them at a Post Office. The special edition stamps are still valid iirc.

Well fancy that, you learn something new every day.
However, as I said, it is the the first time it has happened (ie a monarch dying), it has happened once before in my lifetime, so, I am sure the currency will continue as before, just as it did to my certain knowledge with Victoria, Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, to my certain knowledge. Money (coins) from bearing the images of all of those monarchs were in circulation (at same time) in my lifetime.

5 mile walk done before lunch. My legs felt more like they had cycled 123 miles rather than just 23 this morning. I don't seem to be recovering well from even modest exercise 
The days of knocking out 40 plus miles for several days in a row seem but a hazy memory now.

Mrs Tenkaykev crossed the line ahead of me by 1 second 😎
Waiting for daughter and granddaughter to arrive, I hope she’s not too full of beans as I’m a bit knackered !

The coins will start being made as soon as the image is sorted out
But will not be distributed until they run out of the old ones
By tradition he will face the opposite way to his mother
stamps will also change as soon as the image is sorted out

We are going to our local cinema tonight to see Fisherman's friend: one and all. It is only 5 pounds each. We never go to cine world as they charge too much.

The Bank of England will make an announcement after the period of mourning is over. It's expected coins and notes will be replaced over a 12-18 month period. Apparently there is £80bn in circulation carrying the Queen's head. It does seem rather wasteful, presumably the coinage is melted down for reuse.

Youngster like you, you will soon be doing your 50 milers before breakfast again!

ah well, I was a war baby, couldn't be wasting things in those days, we had eat everything on our plate, or, get it for supper, and have our shoes cobbled, socks darned trousers patched and use old coins, not like today. It all those kids on the iPads to blame.

Had a busy day and got loads of stuff done. Popped to the LBS who checked my shifter and the ratchet has failed. Warranty job and should be replaced by Tuesday.
My middle toe is throbbing - a lot. I dropped a sofa leg on it this afternoon while hoovering. Haven't dared take my sock off yet.
Mrs P is watching something terrible involving Orcs, Elves and men. The prequel to Lord of the Rings. I mean WTF it really is shite so I've retreated to a quiet corner of the backroom. I have a whisky, crossword and codeword. Happiness.
A buddy has messaged to ask if I fancy joining him on the club ride tomorrow. I do but there's lots to do on the allotment and the forecast for next week is very wet. Decisions, decisions.
