Don't worry, this is not one of those long, angsty RL-SUKZ! type entries, just something of an apology I suppose, a rather low-key (and somewhat dull) FRIDAY! post if you will.

( Cut in the interest of the disinterested )

I'm remiss in the extreme in my contributions to picspamyou_2009  and worst of all, my long absences from LJ mean I've missed talking to you lovely people. I've missed a fair few birthdays too for which I'm very sorry, most especially that darling delight of a human Earthling  the4ts . I hope your day was perfection, sugarbutton. I'm sorry I took my eye off the ball and missed you completely. Please have some very belated kisses in the flavour of your choosing. XXXXXXX

And now that my internet is finally back on* I can say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETAGODDESS!!!

I hope your day is, like yourself, made of LOVE. XXX



*DNS trouble, it's up and down like - well, you know. Very tedious. I shall not mention it again for at least 5 minutes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARETT!!!

Welcome to the over-forties club, honey! Live long and prosper.

We're eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in honour of our guppy. We have vanilla cappuccinos. We are now out of pyjamas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to that MOST ESTIMABLE and HANDSOME of DOXIES, TX_CRONOPIO!!!

Have a FATand fruitsome day my lovely, may it SHINE like a supernova from sunrise to sundown XXX 

Everyone's bought me lights for my birthday; a delightful oil-burner, beautiful tall, scented church-candles, some re-chargable lights that look delightfully just like candles and a very wonderful Phillips Living Colours lamp which casts any colour you want via a remote-control, or can be programmed to run through a light sequence, or just randomly change colour. It's fabulous.

All lights! It feels like a marvellous Omen of a most wonderful kind. :o)

We are home in Withnell, I have enough chocolate to sink the Queen Mary. Snow! is forecast. All is good.

I've not been on LJ for a couple of days and it seems I missed an important date! O:

LUICAT, baby! I missed wishing you a MOST HAPPY BIRTHDAY you DELIGHTFUL, DELICIOUS, TASTY little MORSEL of SUGAR-COATED FUN, YOU!!!

I hope you had a perfect day, hon; sorry my kisses are late. XXX
