Pretty much a year of posts, time flies when you're having fun. Still here, been spending a lot of time on what the colonials call "home improvement" and we call DIY, not my favourite pastime but I wanted a washitsu (tatami room) and the time seemed right. Even if the finances weren't, but I don't see that changing for a while. As weird as it may sound sleeping on a futon on a tatami floor is the best thing I've done in a long while; not at all uncomfortable and I sleep better than ever. I can only recommend it. People thinking you're a little eccentric is of course an added bonus. prussian-curios.net seems to be going OK, I need a few admin improvements but visitor numbers are slowly going up, perhaps the Google Search Console stuff is finally kicking in. Nobody's given me any money yet though... .
