I've really let that birthday thing slip
for which I apologise to everyone whose birthday I missed.
As I was planning to start a long, rambling and probably not entirely sensible post anyway, I figured I might as well congratulate two lovely people on my f-list whose birthday is actually TODAY, first:
Happy birthday, cowboy_r!
and
Alles Liebe zum Geburtstag, elfy!
Hope you enjoy your special day, and all the best for the future.
Long, rambley post may come later. Unless real life raises one of its many heads again first, of course...
