On the way home, I dropped by the post office to pick up postage stamps. Turns out the German post changed their international rates. Now they are the same whether you mail inside or outside of Europe (for letters, anyway) - and the prices for overseas DROPPED! It's unbelievable.
It's a pretty big difference if I have to pay €1,70 or €0,75 for a standard letter up to 20g - or €3,45 for something bigger (say, something 5x7 inches) or the old rate of €6. The latter had a while ago gone up from €4 to €6, because they eliminated a size/weight class in between, which is why this comes as such a surprise now.

I got the belated April round at http://characterartexchange.com started, and the signup for May. Which at first had a signup deadline ending at the first April, ut at least I noticed...
And I got a drabble I'll post right now for Friday Flash.
