First and above all - so many thanks to people who wished me a Happy Birthday today! It was a wonderful, sunny day - a very welcome quiet day, after yesterday. It included a walk (admiring other people's lemon trees - ours shows no signs of blossom, let alone fruit, but we're hoping that will change this week when it comes out of a pot and into the ground);
working (that's Moth, behind the sunflowers); and having dinner at a very good Mexican restaurant, Mirate, on Vermont: next door, indeed, to where I had dinner back in 2004, on my first ever visit to USC - that's now a sports bar. Calling that lump of ice "yellow" might be rather a stretch - more like - well, what? Pale seaweed? - I think it may be frozen pineapple juice? - whatever, it contains a wondrous little hollow holding avocado and cilantro oil. Yes, I know - that's maybe a tad pretentious, after margaritas that we know and love in New Mexico, but it was, like the tacos, extremely tasty.
