things have been quiet around here on the blog. lately, all our processing power has been going to an idea we’ve been ruminating for a long time, which is now out there: celebrating the 150th anniversary of postcards, later this year. there are people organizing meetings, museums and post offices involved, a giveaway, and even an exhibition at the universal postal union headquarters in october. it’s all coming together, and the excitement is real!

but since emails and work are not something i like putting on the video, there’s none of that here. so what else did we do this month?

we had friends staying over, and then went north for a few days to check on the family. we filled our bellies with good food, including an extraordinary amount of passionfruit. i kept on studying chinese and we tried a new board game. plus, i managed to do a medical hat-trick last month: got stung by a bee on the tip of a finger (still hurts to type), got a uti and a diagnosis of tendinitis on my arm. :| nothing too bad, just all mildly inconvenient.

i look forward to writing a bit more here this month!
