Publishing schedule
New guides go up roughly twice a month. The subject rotates between the four non-diary sections so no one area goes stale: something practical about daily life, something about food, something about travel or the seasons, and something about culture or language. Family diary entries are published when there is a milestone worth recording rather than on a schedule.
Existing posts are revised when something changes on the ground — a system is replaced, a rule is amended, a place closes. Where a post has been materially updated, the revision date is shown alongside it below.
