I talked about a competition here:
http://gillpolack.livejournal.com/788863.htmlMuch chocolate cake (my friends tonight surprised me with some wonderful, wonderful things) and wine and I feel almost terrifyingly mellow. Since the committee isn't meeting until Sunday, you can all have until Thursday night to get entries in. Mary Victoria is still the person to beat. (I think I'll render your entries anonymous before putting them before the committee, though, just to be fair.)
And now, I need to go play with my birthday presents. Also to jump around happily for a bit. And watch Smallville (borrowed from Val and Mike). And maybe to wear off a bit of amazing birthday food. And to smile about the joy in life that good friends bring with them, in and of themselves and also in the bags they carry.
If any of you have any worries about turning fifty, dismiss them now. It's a very good place to be.
PS There were indeed yachts at the Yacht Club and the lake almost had ripples.
