Greetings, friend,

It’s hard to believe I’m back writing another one of these once again.

But it’s good. And I’ll tell you now, there’s lots of neat things to occupy your time with this week.

For example, you can learn something random from a new-to-you friend at Let Me Explain!

Or grab a date (/fly solo) & enjoy a curated art gallery tour.

Or brave the winter climes for live music, hot cacao & light installations galore!

And that’s during the week… just wait ‘till you see what the weekend has in store.

Catch ya out there = )

Jonah
