** The Curious Corner #44
It’s been a while hasn’t it? I spend the summer months on holiday and september was filled to the brim with weddings, festivals and activities.. And I ended up with a lot of back-pain in the past few days… Leaving me restless and thus recovering all the things I didn’t do… Including this newsletter!
From this month on I’ll publish the Curious Corner again every month! You would help me out tremendously if you share this newsletter with friends! http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT| Share (http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT|) http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=|URL:MC_SUBJECT|: |URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT| Tweet (http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=|URL:MC_SUBJECT|: |URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT|) http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT|&mini=true&title=|URL:MC_SUBJECT| Share (http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT|&mini=true&title=|URL:MC_SUBJECT|) https://plus.google.com/share?url=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT| +1 (https://plus.google.com/share?url=|URL:ARCHIVE_LINK_SHORT|) |FORWARD| Forward to Friend (|FORWARD|)
