february was also plenty nice! we planted thousands of little trees, kissed niece’s chubby cheeks, cuddled some baby goats, gave blood (and i got a medal for my donations!) and i also learned a bit of crochet at last! :)

i’m a bit late with these videos, so here’s the first month of the year!
january was a good month (apart from the bit where i got sick 😅), that started and ended in the north. in the middle of it there was some gardening and composting, talking en français, game nights, lego, lebkuchen, and a lot of caldo verde!

2023, one second everyday
there we go, a whole year in 7 minutes and change!
like always, at the end of the year i have this feeling that lots of things were terrible… but looking at these videos helps contextualize and put events in perspective. yes, we spent a lot of time in hospitals and waiting rooms in 2023 — but we also spent over a month exploring taiwan, redid the garden, saw babies grow, kept in touch with friends, ate lots of delicious meals, hugged loved ones, read books, identified new birds, enjoyed summer, celebrated birthdays, saw projects come to life, grew some vegetables… :) so even if some things were bad, how can a year with all of that in it be called a “bad” year?
may 2024 bring good health — we’ll deal with the rest!
december was pretty much dedicated to friends and family — both in the south and in the north.
our social batteries have been fully recharged, and we’re ready for the year ahead!
november had good weather, laughter, fresh produce, knitting projects and a week in beja exploring alentejo! :)
