Later......

I'm looking forward to trying this chocolate later, when my taste buds have returned. Master M bought this for my birthday today, but as I can't taste a thing, I'm saving it for later.

It's definitely a different sort of birthday. I feel terrible, the weather is atrocious and two out of three of my children aren't here. I'm saving my presents until tomorrow evening, when the family will be back together and saving a celebratory meal until next weekend, when hopefully my taste buds will have returned.

On the upside, I am still alive!
