I would like to wish someone very important in my life a very happy birthday and I’m also dropping by to say that I will be away this weekend to celebrate an even more special occasion.

Well, I’ve been aware I should expect a surprise and it arrived today. I can’t believe I’m announcing it as a small part of me wants to crawl under a rock in embarrassment. Have I mentioned my shy tendencies? Okay, I know you don’t believe me, but it’s true! Still, I am suitably pleased and [...]
