Thank you to everyone who sent me mail through May and most of June! I've had a very busy May with major launches and long hours at work and arriving home to mail was often the bright spot in my days.

u/umeshufan Wow I see my mail has certainly been very kindly talked about by u/Intrepid-Researcher. It sounds so lovely of you to host those refugees, and hope that your work restructuring worked to your favor or switched things up in a way that suited you! Work is getting ever busier where I'm at too, and I just got Covid so it isn't very fun but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things once I recover. I hope you enjoy the mail I sent in return!

u/plushestpossum (x3) Thank you for the Dragonboat, music meta exchange, and border collie Maxicards! Spring Onion pancakes are delicious indeed, though I didn't enjoy stinky tofu from the street stalls very much when I was in HK - something about the tang didn't sit well with me, I prefer the regular variety! Did you have any zongzi (or ba zhang, where I'm from!) during the recent festival? I don't listen to the radio much either, streaming and podcasts have rather taken over that for me. Thanks for the cute maxicard too, I'm not disappointed but I look forward to a hideous one to surprise me in my postbox someday!

u/M0Nk3YKLNG thank you for your birds maxicard with the durian stamps! Regrettably they postmarked both sides LOL even though you used extra stamps. I hope you got to try all the fast food and peranakan food you'd been looking forward to! And I hear you on wanting to bring overseas friends back home too.

/u/satanekochan Thank you for your pets meta challenge card, big dogs are indeed the best to pet!

u/wabisabi_sf (x3) Thank you for your cards on rude birds and fountain pens! Your bucket list trips all sound delightful. Mine would be hiking coastal paths - I've always wanted to walk the entire Raad ny Foillon coastal path on the Isle of Man!

/u/amyt13 (x2) Thank you for your postcard from Lisbon, game postcard and goodies within! I hope you enjoyed your trip, and I agree that cards and freebies make up for games that arn't quite to our taste sometimes! Hope you've had a chance to play more games since :) I finished Unpacking after Spiritfarer and that was also a wholesome calming game, would recommend!

/u/moominmog Thanks for your meta challenge congrats card! There have been times where I felt I wasn't a successful human so it's nice to have a reminder :D

/u/monetmonkey Thank you for the tea postcard! I loved hearing about the Mad Party Tea you tried and the lovely lettering you did of my name, it was a treat to look at. I tried the Tazo "Passion" tea you sent me and it was right up my alley since I love hibiscus fruit blends, which this one was. I was really surprised that it brewed to a dark blackcurrant juice colour - a deep purple, that was rich, sweet with hints of tartness and it was much stronger than I imagined a fruit blend would be from a teabag, which I highly appreciated.

u/Hawlbert Thank you for your easter card packed with confetti and lucky coins! It was such a fun surprise and delight to open. I hope you had a great spring too!

u/zenshark33 (x6) Thank you for the many cards, goodies, even the cookie recipe you sent - the alterations you made with date sugar and crushed vanilla beans sound mouthwatering, they must have been an absolute treat! The cowboy cat riding a shark through space shooting lasers definitely made me laugh, the whole envelope of cards was such a treat to open - especially the charcuterie board card too as that's one of my favourite things to share with friends!
