** The Curious Corner #57!

Hello! Welcome if you’re new, and if you’ve been a follower thanks as well! We’re happy to have you on board. Sometimes Joost and/or Kees give a live session of the things we find. You can find additional things at this one-tab page (https://www.one-tab.com/page/LzkBwvO2SA21mkNgOaherw) !

Next month Joost might be on holiday, so if he prepares everything in advance you might receive one, otherwise he will be hiking somewhere in Sweden or Norway! 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|)
