I have received Thing! I love Thing! And also the container Thing came in, and the card Thing came with (because I am twelve and thus totally entertained by Wonder Woman strapped to a gigantic missile and saying "suffering Sappho!").

There could be no more suitable gift than Thing. Especially given the, you know. Precipitation. Mud. Squid. Etc.

Remain alarmed by Vegemite, though. I spent substantial time gazing fearfully at it, and then turning it over and gazing fearfully at the other side of it. (Well, I said I was sick; for me right now, this is Major Thinking, requiring all available bodily resources.)

Will email you with further commentary on Thing (Things? Pair of Things?) and also VISIT. (YAY!)

Thank you! I rejoice in the warm snuggliness of Thing!
