Tonight
The full moon calendar, and the last night to write.
Every full moon ahead, to the minute, with its traditional name — and the night the post shuts for a letter that would ride it.

The calendar
Every full moon, and the night the post is open for it.
The post opens at the new moon and shuts when the moon is half-lit on the way up. A letter handed in between those two nights rides that moon, and is delivered on it. One letter each way, per moon.
Times are UTC.

The blue one
Two full moons in one month.
One month in this calendar carries two full moons: 31 December 2028. The second of them is the blue moon. The name is the almanacs' for the rarity rather than the colour — two full moons in one calendar month come round every two or three years, and the moon itself is as gold as ever.
A blue moon is a dispatch like any other: it is a full moon, it carries a letter, and a letter handed in during its window is delivered on it. The blue is only the name.
Pick the moon your letter rides.
A letter is written now and delivered on the next full moon — nothing arrives sooner, and the one it is written for is told nothing until it lands. One letter each way, every moon.
