Happy Birthday!

Except for the ones which have childcare or a kids track, and/or say OK to bring kids. e.g. @steelcon.info and @emfcamp.bsky.social

Super happy for you.

Woohoo, no clash with @emfcamp.bsky.social !

Phew! Sorry I think there might be re-occuring appointment in the where's @ministraitor.bsky.social calendar.
