just one question:

(because i'm somehow very sleepy in the way that only a day
having lovely breakfast with lovely friends to wave someone off to Ireland -- with lots of hugs and kisses, obviously -- before ambling through New Farm Park, wandering through the city to pillage craft and book and music shops and those places that serve tinytiny cups of coffe and then finding that i've pushed my luck with the parking gods and finally been ticketed and wandering about another park surreptitiously marenge-ing to people who just decide to play their djemba drums in the middle of the suburbs and wondering why there are fabric remnants amongst the piles of composty-type stuff and then belatedly realising that it is absolutely no use watching a silent film if you're knitting at the same time and wondering as well about whether they've updated some of the screen captions before finally giving in to nap-hood during an inferior Jackie Chan film
can make you.)

would it be a nice thing to get a suprise scarf in the mail?

or wait for face-to-face delivery?

(if it has any bearing on it, it's alpaca-wool-acrylic blend, single stitch crochet, green-grey, blue and pink yarn).
