Flying the flag for Katriona's Birthday!
Happy Birthday my dear friend katriona_s!
I hope you have a splendid day my dear, filled with fun and friendship and snuggles with Mr Uma :)
Btw, in case you're wondering why I'm sending you a pirate flag for your birthday, please be aware that this is not just any old pirate flag. Oh no. This is a very special, official pirate flag flown by the National Library of Scotland to celebrate Robert Louis Stevenson's birthday last November. Note RLS's characteristic moustache :} There are actually very strict rules about what flags can be flown from national public institutions in the UK so how the National Library got away with this I have no idea! It brought a smile to a lot of faces all over Edinburgh that day :) Even the librarians were excitedly tweeting pictures of it!
