i've been out of action for much of this week, with a really bad cold. three days in bed with a sore chest and asthma playing up, so no time at the computer. hopefully things will improve soon, and i've got a pretty busy weekend coming up.
i've spent most of my writing energy putting up this post at the hand mirror about laniet bain, so i won't write much here today. other than to say that it's my birthday, i'm 44, and hasn't the year gone by fast. it's not been as eventful as the previous year, but that's because i've been trying (with very moderate success) to cut back on various things. but that's just in terms of major events. it's been the small stuff that's been taking up my time, a lot of it frustrating but necessary to deal with.
however, i'm glad to have found time this year to catch up on books and movies, and spend more time with friends. and i'm glad i've managed to keep up with the blogging. even though it's much more sporadic, it's still a medium to say important things that need to be said - well, important to me anyway. thanks to all of you who happen to drop by and read what i have to say. and i hope the coming year brings good things for you.

I hope the year to come is one of good things. And thanks for persisting in blogging. Your thoughtful contributions to the blogosphere are a welcome addition.
thanx jemma, much appreciated.
Happy birthday, anjum! And thank you for your blogging, at THM and here. It's always thoughtful, always worth reading, always gives me a sense of connection with a woman of insight and compassion and good sense.
Also, we are very nearly exactly the same age, sort of. I'm 6 months and 2 days older than you - a mere bagatelle in the context of 44 years. (I'm sure we must have had this conversation before... perhaps last year?)
thanx deborah. i think we had this conversation at 42, an age which should have revealed the meaning of life to us, but somehow didn't (at least not for me!). i guess i wasn't sitting in the right cafe drinking tea...
