Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to my lovely and talented Older Daughter chaoswolf!!!!! Hope it's a great one, and may your year be filled with joy.

Morning

No idea when the Wolfling's party broke up last night; we old fogeys went to bed around 11:30 or so, if I remember correctly. I got up 7ish -- so much for needing only 5 hours' sleep. We got in some good cuddle, though.

Since the sewing room, which would normally serve as a guest room, is currently full of sewing and assorted other clutter, we finally made use of the curtains we bought back in February; these partition off part of the living room (the part that used to be the master bedroom, in fact) to give guests sleeping on the couch a little privacy. The couch has two foam cushions that fit together on the floor to make a king-sized bed.

I need to watch out for parties: I put on a couple of pounds, even with my clever substitution of lettuce-leaf wraps for hamburger buns. The slices of baguette with either olive oil or cheese, not to mention the birthday cake, probably made up for it.
