🇱🇰 Sri Lanka Post issued a stamp and 1 miniature sheet on 16 September 2019 to commemorate the opening of the Lotus Tower in Colombo which at 350 metres is now the tallest self-supported building in South Asia. The opening ceremony was carried out by President Maithripala Sirisena and the building includes a hotel, restaurant, conference hall, telecommunications museum, ballroom and an observation deck.

Previously, on 10 September 2019, the Sri Lankan postal service issued a single stamp to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the EMS - Express Mail Service - as part of the worldwide joint issue detailed at the end of this Blog. The stamp was printed in lithography. Rating:- ***.
🇬🇧 Royal Mail, which currently dislikes putting out information to collectors until the last minute before a stamp issue is due to be released, has revealed the design well ahead of the issue date of 18 November 2019 of its Chinese New Year - Year Of The Rat - ‘Generic sheet’ of 20 ‘Fireworks’ Greetings Stamps with attached labels. These Chinese New Year sheets have been released since 2012. I wonder how many of these stamps are actually used on new year celebratory mail. The item was designed by Hat-Trick.
