I'd like to announce that I am feeling much better - though not yet 100%.
However, I'm doing my best to salvage this birthday for Nada.
There is a lovely bottle of port on the counter -
Warre's 1985 Vintage - and some brie and blue cheese in the fridge. Some fresh grapes, and some black peppercorn pate should round out a pre-bedtime snack.
Wish me luck!
