Urgh

Am sick. Have been so for several days. Nothing ghastly, just the sort of thing that leaves you wobbly, and I walk to and from work and do a surprising amount of maths during the day. Neither of these things can be done well with a brain that is going whoosh, whoosh from one side of my head to another. Were I a designer of alternative religions, I would be at the PEAK of my powers!

As it is, I am the queen of the lie-down, with helpful cats popping in to check I live. Not yet certain if they want some feeble patting or are planning to bask in my febrile glow. No, Cal, they are not planning on eating me, I am not expensive enough! Anyway, am getting better.

But enough about me! HAPPY SLIGHTLY LATE BIRTHDAY violet_quill ! I am so pleased you met the best barista in the world that day, how brilliant! And also to thebrandytook , I hope you had a hobbit-worth of gifts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY to the lovely alienor77310 ! GO the present and cake fairies! I hope it's fabbo from go to whoa.

ETA: You see, this is why I cannot be trusted with proofs, or walks ... forgot the very important part of this message ...

THANK YOU catsintheattic ! I received a lovely parcel in the post today and look forward to both reading the story and having the festival of tea and almond treats! Sadly, Customs inspected the parcel, so any note has been lost (this happens, I fear lonely Customs officers have few friends, so pinch notes and leave them lying artlessly around their flats in the forlorn hopes that someone will see them and assume they are popular.)

Thanks, too, to calanthe_fics ! I had cocoa in my much-lived new Lilla My mug last night, and listened to Draco Malfoy the album, thanks to raitala . There is no better way to spend a not-quite vertical evening!

And now, for a little lie down ...
