merci beaucoup

Very quickly, thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes. D & I spent the weekend (sans HoB, omg) in a pretty mountain cabin at the end of a 2 mile gravel road, 15 miles from the nearest little town. It had multiple fireplaces & a view to more stars than I've seen in decades, but there wasn't what you could call reliable Internet/3G. Very peaceful, but it should have been a working weekend for both of us & now I'm not sure I can see the end of my list of things that need to be done today, let alone by the end of the week, so individual thanks may be delayed.

I'll return you to your regularly scheduled Mondays now--ciao, bellas!
