"I have been but little in," said Ninian hastily...

I've gotten simply an astonishing number of nice birthday wishes from folks on Facebook, which has been very cheering. I also got a lovely handmade birthday card and a hilarious present from The Nurse, which really made my day.

So, the cold having its odd depressive effect on my appetite, birthday dinner is a nice salad and some tea. :-) And to celebrate, since I was in the mood for something funny and romantic, I'm watching The Decoy Bride. Given that it has one of my massive crushes (Kelly Macdonald) as well as David Tennant and Hamish Clark (who I also adore and who, wow, lost a lot of weight since he was in Monarch of the Glen), I think it's likely to be the movie that the absolutely atrocious Made of Honor wanted to be when it grew up. Eleven minutes in, and they've already had me in stitches once (Elderly beldame to KM: "No throwing yourself at the men visitors, Katy. We don't want them thinking this is the Orkneys, where anything goes.")

After three days at home, I am getting stir crazy...

Have a wonderful day with your absolutely wonderful wife and such chums as gather 'round. Many happy returns and best wishes from out on the East Coast!

I hope things are less stressful for you soon. Wish I could offer to help with the moving, but best wishes for that as well. *hugs*!

Happy birthday, shy_kat! :-)

You're a lovely friend and housemate; many happy returns!

I hope to see lots of you lovely people at the House in the Trees (?Taigh an Craobhan?) tomorrow for games and World Cup to celebrate M's impending young coot-ness.
