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! B-) 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 :D

Wunder, wow, thank you so much. :ymhug: That is one amazing Bag End cake!! :-o :x Love all the celebratory fun in your post. :D

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.
;)) :D

Have a happy hobbity birthday, Jo Hobbit!
Plenty of good food, and good cheer!
