Very brief birthday post

[blamebrampton]

Because I have to run off and eat pavlova with Mr Brammers, I only have a minute and so the thank yous to very kind folk will have to wait short time. However, this: 

is one of my very favourite artworks in all the world, and -- not long after hanging out with this one (there are several) in Paris -- I now have a tiny version of my very own sitting on my cabinet. Mr Brammers is worth his weight in gold, really, despite his little moments.

Hurrah for J!
Small Girl says happy birthday, and she is very concerned that you might not have cake (she wanted to bake one for you, and we had to have a chat about the incompatability of icing and the postal service).

Thanks, SG! Reassure her that we had a lovely sponge slathered in jam and cream at work, and then pavlova at home. I am dying of sugar and lactose ;-)

If she has excess cake making energy, she and Blondie should obviously make you one!

Good lord, can you imagine the mess in the kitchen? I'm making chocolate Guinness cake for my birthday :D

Obviously you should send them to someone else's kitchen for this ;-)

Mmmmm, sounds delicious! OHSHIT, I had better think about a gift ...
