lovely birthday people

A happy happy happy birthday to chiller and jinxremoving! I hope you both have splendid days and equally splendid upcoming years!

(also, as is obvious by the fact that I am NOT THERE, I'm sorry we didn't make it over to Edinburgh for the jinxremoving birthday festivities , but we will do a trip next year, deffo)

i love horses, best of all the animals

OH I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.

On the other hand, in a week's time, I will have two weeks off. I plan to spend most of this period eating and loafing.

Random question for Dublin people: I got a most excellent necklace when I was in San Francisco, featuring AN ACTUAL SEAHORSE CAST IN SILVER. However, the accompanying chain is extremely thin and perhaps not up to the brutal hustle and bustle of my everyday life: it broke last time I tried to put the necklace on. If I was still in SF I'd just bring it back to the shop, but I amn't, so does anyone know a good place for either a)jewellery repairs or b)to get a new very fine chain (all my existing silver chains are too thick and/or I'd need to remove the catches to get them through the hole in the seahorse)? The only places I can think of off the top of my head are Emma Stewart-Liberty in the Powerscourt centre (though I think they mostly do rings, and work mostly with gold) and Djinn on Wexford St. (but they mostly make quite chunky stuff and I don't know if they do repairs or anything other than sell their own designs).
