Apart from the activity I talked about in the previous post, I went with a friend to the Open Day of ESA (The European Space Agency)
The event usually has a science fiction theme along with the science and technology.
in 2024 they had the TV series The Expanse as a theme.
We went to a double panel with the Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen who was a real life commander of the ISS, and the actor Steven Strait who played a space ship captain in the Expanse TV series. They had a really fun conversation, and we all enjoyed it a lot.
Not too much other scifi/fantasy, because of other stuff having priority.
Dear Madam, Sir,
My apologies for writing in English instead of Danish.
I’m a member of a Belgian stamp collectors and filatilist club, and we would like to send new years cards to people in Denmark.
Therefore, however, we need postal addresses.
It might sound as an odd request, but we’ve heard that the postal services in Denmark are running the risc of disappearing.
We would like to support postal services in Denmark, and because I’m a longstanding sf-fan (former publisher and editor of De Tijdlijn, and organiser of the sf-cons Confusion I through III in Geraadsbergen), I thought the best thing to do was to send the cards to sf & f & horror fans.
Would you be willing to send us some addresses?
There are further no obligations. We only want to send new years cards.
Sincerly,
Peter Motte

I am sorry for a (very) late response.
No apology needed for the language.
As you can see, the blog has not been very active lately, but this requires a response, at least.
As you may guess, while I am not going to publish my address on the web, like you did, I do appreciate the gesture.
However, the postal service to Denmark has not disappeared, it has gone to (another) private company, and I still get paper mail from abroad.
As for languages, I was not expecting people responding in Danish, and also, I lived for a long while in the Netherlands, so you could have written in Dutch/Flemish, and I would be able to read and understand it.
