- hi; on saturday, 25 december 2021, the noble firedrake r metapemped:
> It's the 25th of December.
> Summon the Sexton to sound the bells!
> For today is the Birthday of ppint., Village Bookseller.
- which anniversary was made vastly more enjoyable by my being kid^W
ppint.napped and abducted chapeltown, s. yorks-wards by dell'n'andrea,
entertained - not least by the visiting stella'n'totie - serenaded by sherbet
dib-dab, and fed'n'watered by various perms'n'comms of the residents
(but anuty moira and uncle mark were missed, as they'd fled southward
before christmice eve) (thus they in turn missed at least a couple of the
presents intended for them) (one of which is still being re-read by yr
hmbl srppnt., as dot wished ~5 hours of re-wiring a decorative display
with lighting not intended for this porpoise upon yr hmbl srppnt., thus
so reducing my reading-time in chapeltown that it overflowed the dur-
ation of my stay) ...
- yr hmbl srppnt. is now recovering from the assaults of millions of
tiny, neither alive nor dead (and therefore undead?) enemy aliens of
a covid-19 nature, and hoping any and all remaining denizens of the
village have a 2022 a lot less fraught, and considerably more en-
notable, than 2021 turned out to be;
- love, ppint.
