7x u/disabledimmigrant - As usual, answers on a postcard, or few! Your painted one came after I sent mine out, alas, but that only means I get to focus my appreciation on it now -- some of the blue brushstrokes edging the leaves, in particular, do look quite Chinese! Also, I know I say this with some frequency, but huge appreciation for the postcard designs.

u/weallgetboredalot - Sending you a hug! I so enjoyed hearing about the three kittens - how are they getting along now? I had no idea crows could be such a menace. Have you kept them?

u/malozing_running - Thank you for the fireflies card; massive (if late!) congratulations on the happy news!

u/LeeElla - Thank you for the Qixi card -- it's so lovely. I have to admit I struggled with the poem, and sought help with the traditional characters! I know the tale of Niulang and Zhinu, but never realised that people actually pray to them -- very interesting!

u/stephkempf - Thank you for the horse card! It brings back memories of my deep obsession with Anna Sewell's 'Black Beauty'.

2 x u/birdiebennett - Thank you for the National Galleries of Scotland cards, and the many stickers! Who knew the Backstreet Boys were still active; I'm glad you had a great time. My summer is going swimmingly, thank you, even if I'm being burned to a crisp!
