Greetings to all Qortains @ iffi August 202

I decided to make a short video clip and let you know that I'm not lost anywhere - it's just that it's very, very busy at the moment...
I would also like to thank all of you who participated and donated a QORT for QORTECTOR I have the qortector now happily at home and it is working. I will make a separate video about it sometime later.
At the moment, I am working on growing food and stocking up on firewood, and there is still a lot more to do in order to survive the new winter safer than the last one.
That's why I haven't been active anywhere in the qortal network for a long time.
It's starting to be more time towards autumn and then I'll be active again and start making videos of the activities that happened in the meantime.
Until then enjoy a wonderful pleasant summer let's stick together let's help each other! See you soon next videos :)
