The migraine's gone, so I'm able to look at the screen

Bloody, bloody foehn!!! There were gale-force gusts this morning, and rain alternating with intensely blue sky. Temperature at 10°. It's JANUARY, oh deities!!! Would you mind having a look at the calendar?

OK, now the important things:

1) Happy Birthday flourish!!! May you live up to your ID :)
2) Thanks to everybody for your insightful, encouraging comments on my entry about the anti-semitic brute. They were much needed and much appreciated :)

Less important things: Again no water this morning. I just managed to clean my teeth and fill a pot with the remaining dribble, then stampeded out of my flat in search of the plumbers. Fortunately I always ask politely first, before emptying the cornucopia of my wrath, and so was told that it had been an emergency, as the main pipe had been leaking. So I merely asked how long it was going to take, and they said 2 hours. Surprisingly accurate prediction, and I could take my shower before leaving.
Ran a few minor errands, then retreated to Kaffeehaus to work on technical questions concerning the Lucius/Ginny fic. Worked out most of them and did two illustrations at home, one of them having tea and the other sleeping. Did *not* succumb to temptation to buy more crayons, as I really don't need any at the moment. But I bought paper *giggles insanely*
