Firstly, a very happy birthday to the fertile Ephraim. I guess you've already had a pretty awesome early present but I hope that today will be just that little bit cooler for it being the first birthday you can share with three of you.

Secondly, a huge "thank you" to the inestimable Liz_Lowlife for introducing me to Spoon Theory. This is it, this is it exctly. Anyone who's ever wondered what it's like to have M.E. need look no further than this.
