Slightly belated greetings, Michael. Many Years to you !
I didn't realize it was your nameday! God grant you many years!
Many thanks to you, both, for your good wishes. :-)
MNOGAYA LYETA!
And I too am sorry for being late. I assume all Michaels are on Michaelmas - and I'm in the midst of a calendar crisis so I'm sure I'll get everyone's name day wrong for many, many months to come. Or possibly every day for ever :)

I don't expect people to remember - it is a minor name day really, the main one, which I've never really taken to, being in November. It's just that this one has more significance to me because of my catechumenate, and at the present time i suppose I'll just take anything that gives me some sort of sense of belonging and direction.
