Tell my best girl happy birthday, and give her a kiss from me? The owl with my present should be there in the morning. You can tell her I carved the dragon all by myself, just for her. (I'm getting better! This one actually looks like it's supposed to.)

How are you doing? I'm run half ragged these past few weeks, or I'd've been down, but I'm hoping to get some time later this week.

Wee dragons! Or maybe not so wee? How big are they at that stage?

Tell Em, I'll see what we can do about getting some more saffron to him.

He's about up to my hip at the moment. Although I swear every time I turn around, he's grown another hand or two. They're a little pathetic at that stage, though, since their wings aren't big and strong enough to take their weight yet, so they're ground-based for at least the first four months or so after they hatch. Usually in the wild, Mum would have him tucked up in the nest, but when we're hand-raising them it's better for them to be closer to where we are, so we have a pen done up like a cave on ground level. Which means he's walking more than they usually do at that age, which means he's falling over a lot.

I think someone's got a pair of Omnioculars with some of the funny bits recorded on them. I'll see if I can borrow them next time I come down.
