By the end of the week, i send a short email which i hope serves as an invitation to pause and consider the possibilities.
Vers la fin de la semaine, j’envoie un court email qui résonne, je l’espère, comme une invitation à faire une pause et envisager les possibilités.

… comes the end of a cycle of 52 editions of ‘It’s le weekend’ (you can browse them all here). It’s been good and fun making them and i feel satisfied that they have made their way into the world and your inboxes.

I wish you all a very happy 2026. Here’s to hoping we can make it a good one!
The Tales of Ink and Light are a collection of poems, short stories (fiction or documentary) or essays that explore the strange beauty of our world. Les Contes d’encre et de lumière is the French version of the Tales of Ink and Light.
Boas festas, Pierre. Ainda não tivemos tempo de nos conhecer, mas da próxima vez que estiver em Lisboa, digo-te para irmos fazer uma passeata fotográfica e beber um café! Até à próxima!
Merci pour cette année de samedis enchantés par tes poésies illustrées superbement... ou tes photos commentées authentiquement ??? Elles m'ont beaucoup touchée. Merci. Heureuses fêtes de fin d'année et au plaisir de te lire encore. Peut-être à bientôt dans le Namurois🎄
