Her Majesty has deigned to send me a birthday card.
After the canned message, she has added:
"My dearest Ribo,
Ungracious behaviour happened between us, the summer of 2006, while you and your family visited me in my home in CT.
We both have had lots of time to reflect on it, and I regret it.
I am hoping that you'll find it in your heart to forgive and forget, our absurd behaviour. I'll be the first to do so.
Life is fleeting, let's not nurture rancor.
You and I enjoyed happy years together, let's do that again.
I'd like to hear from you, and get all your good news.
With love"
Shall I write back that "behaviour" is nonstandard spelling for American English; it is the British spelling?
Just kidding; I was actually deeply touched.
