We've arrived in real time now. So the postings will no longer come daily - I'll upload new cards when they happen. You can check Katrin's blog in case she is ahead of this site, if you like.

Wir sind jetzt in der Gegenwart angekommen. Das heisst, ich zeige hier nicht mehr jeden Tag eine neue Karte - die Einträge kommen jetzt unregelmäßiger, wenn es eine neue Postkarte gibt. Wer möchte, kann auf Katrin's Blog gucken, ob es schon was neues gibt.

So many buttons! Little Marty couldn't resist.
