Kallessa, you didn’t get the “tooting” version of the mooning gnome, did you? :eek:
Silly woman, gnomes don’t toot, they belch. It’s fairies that fart.
I do not…
… as far as you know.
Ice Wolf, I love sausage rolls, so I’m glad you brought them. It’s a day late, but I do have 2 plates of the infamous chocolate truffles to contribute, one made with amaretto and rolled in powdered sugar, and one with framboise and rolled in cocoa powder. Since this is virtual and I’m warping time as it is, here is a handknit scarf in your favorite color to keep out the winter chill.
Happy (belated) birthday!

Wow, it takes a long time to get here from Denver! I brought kazoos and pumpkin-chocolate chip bread for everyone and a special sousaphone that plays “Lady of Spain” for Rue.
Rue, may you have the happiest of birthdays!
