Aahhh, pardons there, Courtenay. I did not fully realize what your vocation involved. Thanks so much for the link. I will read with interest.

Re: Happy Birthday - Round Two!
That's all right — it's not such a well-known profession, I realise! This is where I work, which gives a bit more info.
I happen to have a day off work today (not planned or requested, it was just how the scheduling turned out!) and have just been having a nice quiet time. I had a video call with my family in Australia this morning (evening for them), which was fun — not much news where they are, but they're also staying safe and well. They are sending me a birthday parcel in the mail, which I suspect will contain goodies such as Mint Slice biscuits and Twisties — almost impossible to get in the UK (except at very great expense) — but it hasn't arrived yet...

Very good. Thanks for the further link. (I hope the residents and staff are well there.)
Ooh, a birthday package from your family. May it arrive soon so you can enjoy those tasty treats! Glad you could video call with them today. And so nice the work schedule panned out so that you had today off!

Happy Birthday, Courtenay! It's been a pleasure to chat with you on NarniaWeb's forums

Wunder, wow, thank you so much. That is one amazing Bag End cake!! Love all the celebratory fun in your post.
It's an unusual weekend because of COVID, so most of our family cannot be with us ( ), but hurrah for video chats, at least.
And it's a really adventurous weather day too. I am a snow-lover, but SW Ontario rarely gets snow in May, yet today we keep on having heavy squalls that blow through, leaving sunshine until the next snow squall comes.
