Woe!
May your time in the land of the living be filled with good things, fun times and, most importantly, cake. Always remember there is a nice cold Barrow open to you here on the Downs. We'll try and keep them squatters out (they're mostly still up at Amon Rûdh) and not let the rat problem get out of hand... again.
I am avoiding the temptation to shout "FIGHT THE POWER!", but I suppose that your work and future are important. May good times follow you to the end. After that, come back and tell us all about it!
