That's a wonderful dream. I hope the cake was tasty.

I woke to an improbable piece of mail that cheered me immensely.

I'm hoping it was a thank you note from Alan Turing and Christopher Morcom, but somehow I doubt that. Any road, I'm glad it cheered you.

Congratulations on the acceptances!

I gather from all of this that I am not Caesar, but I rather enjoyed the Ides of March.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the Ides.

I'm very happy that you're not Caesar. I'd miss you, and I'd really rather hate to have to spend years of my life fighting Roman senators to avenge you.
