I think you mean teacher_bear . . .

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you so much! Your good wishes are most welcome. A day at school teaching 'heathens' (as a colleague describes my students) is not my best idea of a relaxing birthday. Ah well...

Have a good one, mate. And welcome, finally, to the villages.

Yes, but you can now have a weekend-long birthday, yippee!

He's been spending it making bread on the new breadmaker (same as yours, Thog). Wants me to ask you if you have a recipe that works really well and you like in the recipe book they provided. Sure makes the house smell good!
