Gah!

Very trying day for reasons that I won't go into at the moment. However, a few bright points.

Thank you absynthedrinker  for both your kind words and the absence of a question as to when the next chapter will occur. It will, but after Fathers ...

The very humane 17catherines  has an excellent post for Australians on Seena Akhliqi Sheikhdost, the little boy from the Christmas Island tragedy who is still being held in detention, including actions we can all take to make our displeasure known to a government that had promised to be better than this.

The lovely violet_quill  turns a year older today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope that it is fabulous for you, or at the very least delightfully relaxing. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, too, to thebrandytook , you've been away for some time, I hope that you are having wonderful adventures!

Darling treacle_tartlet made me a Moomin icon! Which I will share as soon as I remember how to upload the buggers ...

Finally, I received a package from Oxbow Books today in a proper US postal bag with cardboard tags and everything. It felt like such really real post! Delicious!

Get well pseudicide , mummimamma  and everyone else with health issues at the moment. Being ill is no fun!


ETA: I remembered more good things! 

One, wemyss , you are a dear! 

Two, Mardi Gras is Sydney's GLBT parade and this year they are using social media to do a lot of their advertising, so people make their own posters and stick them up in the area. A great one in Erko has a lovely Catholic Christ with a speech bubble saying: 'I've never been doorknocked by homosexuals on a recruitment drive' -- a big laugh just at a moment I really needed one.

Three, Oh girls I chat with, I love you all. Thanks for the best wishes!
