apologies to all my friends--one thing I haven't been doing while sick is reading LJ. And I'm on a course all this week. So if you *need* to get a hold of me, email me. Otherwise I will try to catch up as best I can soon.
And I'm happy to report that Chris loved all her Scottish puffin-themed birthday presents. :-) Thank you, Glen Coe Visitor Center Shop! The National Trust for Scotland comes through again! :-)
