My dear lmondegreen,

You were the only person I knew when I moved to Ottawa and the first new friend I made here. The last six-odd years of my life have been better for having you in it.

Happy birthday, darling.

Yours with love,

In other news, I really need to try to stop thinking about the Tour de France now and go back to thinking about Stead. The Tour's over. It's time for me move on.

lazlet and the_oscar_cat, I want you both to know that I blame you two entirely for my current difficulties with concentration.

...how many days until the next Tour, exactly? And what does one do to fill the time in between?
