Well, I'm still working on my SS's identity. I've sunk to handwriting analysis in my desparate attempt to put a name to gift.

I wish I hadn't.

I think said santa may originally be British/Irish but there are some distinct Germanic influences on certain letters ("s" in particular). An upright individual (definitely male), capable of a certain formality when required, but possibly a bit quirky within his 'envelope'. May, for instance, enjoy playing the guitar naked in the privacy of his own home.

OK - so none of that is a problem.

But his 'descenders'!!!!!! (Those are the dangly bits to those not au fait with handwriting analysis.) His descenders are DEFINITELY worrying! I know that Mudcat represents a wide church of interest but ... there are things which simply cannot be discussed in an open forum.

Maybe I should just forget about trying to identify you any further, dear secret santa. Thanks for the owl! And now, let sleeping dogs lie.

I mean that: please let them, and all other small household pets, alone!
