Ted went shopping this morning and came back with some shortbread cake thingies they were giving away, I guess, at the market. He ate one and thought it was wonderful, and broke another in half so I could try it, because I was slightly dubious. I expected it to have no flavor other than shortbread, and after it had been in my mouth a moment I realized that it had another flavor too.

My nephews are thugs.
Busy day! I got up at *shudder* 6:15 and got on a train to Dublin, where I delivered and collected presents, wrote a limerick for Breic, took pictures of the boys, several of which will be on kitsnaps ( for the feed) over the next few days.

I’ve gotten over a thousand spams to my gmail account since I thought about that this morning, about six hours ago. *headdesk*
