Thank you! It's true, it cannot be the happiest of birthdays when something is missing. You are hardly old! You, sir, are still considered quite young, while I am nearing spinsterhood at a rapid pace.

Thank you as well for my gifts, you can never go wrong with sweets and something for my book collection, I love them. I'll admit I was quite curious about the rope, but it's very clever and extremely thoughtful. Only missing a few more pieces and we'll be all set.

Hopefully I'll see you soon.
