january! the first month of the year saw us quietly recharging at home, getting reacquainted with our routines and the things we missed the past few months.

i read a couple of books, we caught up with friends over online dinners, played hanabi a few times, enjoyed all the almond trees blossoming everywhere, hung a couple of birdhouses, good boostered, watched some chinese series and celebrated chinese new year. it was a great month, with quite a few new dishes and birds spotted too.
