Happy Birthday Ekky

10th April - not a good day for me, I'm struggling to function.  Dorothy Parker sums it all up here in an extract from her short story "The Lovely Leave".

"She sat down on the sofa.  She wanted to cry: not silently with slow crystal tears, but with wide mouth and smeared face.  She wanted to throw herself stomach-down on the floor, and kick and scream, and go limp if anyone tried to lift her."

I'd better get dressed.
